About Genetic Testing for Hearing Loss
Genetic factors play a role in over 50% of all childhood hearing impairment. Molecular genetic testing assists otologists by providing insight into the etiology of hearing impairment in children. It has been estimated that between 50 and 100 genes are involved in the functioning of the ear. Mutations in any of those genes may cause hearing loss.
