CAA with TMJ retroposition was often unilateral, typically on the right side. Most patients had normal auricles, with an enlarged cavum conchae and a large tragus ("mirror ear"). Even with a high Jahrsdoerfer score, traditional hearing reconstruction surgery could not be performed. Patients can undergo Vibrant Soundbridge or Bonebridge implantation or wear bone-conduction hearing aids to improve hearing levels, or refuse intervention because of mild hearing loss. The TMJ location can be used as a Jahrsdoerfer Grading System supplement for preoperative evaluation.
