The authors present 3 cases of osteogenesis imperfecta, with auditory repercussions similar to otospongiosis. A review of the literature of the pathology highlights its relationship with the temporal bone. The findings and treatment of 3 cases are discussed. The author conclude that this pathology may suggest otospongiosis with a progressive neuro-sensorial loss of hearing. The treatment of choice is the use of a hearing aid, rather than surgery.
