Question
I just got the CD of images of my son's ears.  I'll be reviewing them Monday with his doctor but I'm wondering if it's possible for anyone here to look at some of the images and tell me if there is a sign of a deformed cochlea or enlarged vestibular aqueduct.

Answer
Hi Chris,
You need to go over the films with your own doctor.  If after the consult, you want a second opinion, then I may be able to steer you in that direction.  But, I doubt that there is anyone here who would risk the professional liability of reading films over the internet.
Hope this helps.
