Abstract: In a method for producing an inner ear organoid, stem cells and a culture medium are treated on a microwell plate whose an inner circumferential surface has a curved surface inclined downward, the stem cells are seeded in each microwell, and the stem cells seeded in each microwell are cultured. Using the method, cell aggregates for production of inner ear organoids may be easily formed, and uniform and mature inner ear organoids may be produced using the specific initial cell number control method and growth factor treatment method of the present invention, and may be used for inner ear disease modeling and drug screening.
