Abstract：Congenital malformation of external and middle ear is one of the most common facial birth defects, with various clinical manifestations. Beside cosmetic defects, patients with congenital malformation of external and middle ear usually have mild to severe conductive hearing loss. These patients need early intervention and treatment to reduce adverse effects on speech development and social activities. With the development of modern technologies and the advent of im-plantable hearing aids, there are now more choices for hearing reconstruction and better outcomes for patients. This article will review the progress of research on hearing implants in congenital malformation of external and middle ear.
