Learn About Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss
Nonsyndromic hearing loss is a partial or total loss of hearing that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. In contrast, syndromic hearing loss occurs along with signs and symptoms that affect other parts of the body.
The causes of nonsyndromic hearing loss are complex. Researchers have identified more than 155 genes that, when altered, are associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss. However, not all of these associations are equally well understood.
Between 2 and 3 per 1,000 children in the United States are born with measurable hearing loss in 1 or both ears. By age 12, the prevalence of hearing loss increases to 1 in 8 people in the United States.
Nonsyndromic hearing loss can be inherited in different ways.
