Summary
This study describes a family with progressive, non-congenital mixed-type deafness. Findings suggest a link between this hearing loss and malformations of the inner ear, specifically a widened cochlear canaliculus.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Genetics
- Audiology
Background:
- Progressive, non-congenital mixed-type deafness can have various etiologies.
- Inner ear malformations are associated with hearing impairment.
- Familial occurrence of hearing loss suggests a genetic component.
