Genetic Hearing Loss

Genetic hearing loss is a condition caused by a mutated gene inherited from one or both parents. It affects one in 500 people and is the most common form of hearing loss in babies and young children. The most common symptoms include difficulty understanding speech, muffled hearing, and sensitivity to loud noises. Hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other assistive devices are the most common treatments for genetic hearing loss. Through the use of genetic testing, doctors can diagnose genetic hearing loss and provide counseling, guidance, and support to patients and their families. Early diagnosis and treatment of genetic hearing loss is key to helping children achieve their optimal hearing and communication potential.
