This work attempts to present a complete theory of the $\mu \mathrm{H}$ hyperfine splitting, including all contributions above 1 ppm. Quantum electrodynamic and recoil corrections are calculated directly, while the proton structure correction is obtained with the help of the H hyperfine splitting. The resulting theoretical prediction for the ground state of $\mu \mathrm{H}$ is $E_{\mathrm{hfs}}=182626\left(5\right)\mu \mathrm{eV}$.
