Abstract:
A kindred is described in which five male members over three generations manifested a high-frequency deafness. Their isolated sensorineural hearing loss was non-progressive and only in the 1500-8000 Hz range. The pattern of inheritance and nature of the auditory deficit would suggest it is a previously undescribed X-linked form of deafness.
