Enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome: An ear disorder involving progressive hearing loss that starts during childhood. The disorder is caused by abnormal fluid movement within the ear structures due to the large size of some of the structures that hold the fluid. The fluid canal actually doesn't fully mature until the child reaches the age of about 4. Head trauma can make the condition worse in young children. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome is available below.
