Cochlear hypoplasia and incomplete partition subtypes showed variable ABR and CM responses. In cochlear aperture anomalies, CND was consistently observed, with absent wave V but detectable CM of variable latency. Wave V responses differed significantly between normal and CND ears (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), whereas CM responses did not (p\u2009=\u20090.055).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study delineates ABR characteristics specific to inner ear anomaly subgroups and highlights the influence of CND on ABR outcomes.
