Overall findings indicated that children with enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome or enlarged vestibular aqueduct with incomplete partition type 2 malformation had improved speech perception, auditory and language performance, and parent-reported auditory and speech production outcomes after cochlear implantation. Additional meta-analysis revealed that there was no difference in outcomes compared to children without inner ear malformations.
