Core Tip	X-linked deafness is a rare genetic disorder causing a severe mixed hearing loss. This is due to an abnormal connection between the internal auditory meatus (IAM) and the basal turn of the cochlear leading to a “3rd window effect” and cochlear conductive hearing loss. Patients are traditionally treated with conventional hearing aids however these are often unsatisfactory. Cochlear implantation is a high-risk procedure in such cases due to the risk of inadvertent electrode placement in the IAM.
