    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2002 Apr; 81(4):274-6, 278. PubMed ID: 11987746.
    Abstract:
    We describe only the third reported case of congenital, bilaterally absent includes that were not accompanied by another otologic abnormality. This condition was detected in a 3-year-old boy who was being evaluated for a hearing impairment and speech and language delay. The patient was treated with partial ossicular replacement prostheses, which resulted in an improvement in his hearing.
