Early therapy is essential for language development. Imaging plays a central role in diagnosis and therapy planning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Method\u2002Imaging findings of the most relevant causes of pediatric hearing disorders are presented. Specific attention is given to the method used in each case \u2013 CT or MRI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results and Conclusions\u2002While CT is the method of choice for conductive hearing loss, a combination of CT and MRI with high-resolution T2-3D sequences has been established as the best diagnostic method for sensorineural hearing loss. The most common causes of conductive hearing loss in childhood are chronic inflammation and cholesteatoma. Congenital malformations of the outer or middle ear are less frequent. In the case of sensorineural hearing loss, the cause is located in the inner ear and\/or the cochlear nerve or the cerebrum. In these cases, congenital malformations are the most common cause.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Key Points\u2002<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Citation
