The ChOLE classification is a new system to classify cholesteatomas. We provide evidence that hearing outcomes vary among different ChOLE stages. In particular, hearing outcomes are associated with the ChOLE subdivision "O" and "L". Thus, the ChOLE classification system has a predictive value regarding hearing outcomes.
