We observed a higher prevalence of otological morbidity in RDEB-I than previously reported and present the first case of cholesteatoma in EB. Our data indicate that BAHA and MEI are safe and effective treatment options for hearing loss in EB. Clinicians should be vigilant in screening for ear symptoms in RDEB-I and consider early referral to an ENT specialist.
