Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a cluster of genetically determined disorders of the connective tissue. Among the complications associated with this disease, hearing loss is a common complaint that usually begins in the second or third decade of life and worsens with age. Herein, we present the case of a 16-year-old female diagnosed with OI, who presented with decreased hearing over the past 4 years and had a positive family history of OI. Pure tone audiometry revealed mild-to-moderate bilateral conductive hearing loss. This patient’s age illustrates the importance of identifying the best technique for hearing restoration in younger populations.
