Deafness and Hereditary Hearing Loss Overview Authors: Richard JH Smith, MD Guy Van Camp, PhD About the Authors / Author History Initial Posting: 14 February 1999 Last Revision 30 January 2007 Summary Disease characteristics. Several hundred genes are known to cause hereditary hearing loss and deafness. The hearing loss may be conductive, sensorineural, or a combination of both; syndromic or nonsyndromic; and prelingual (before language develops) or postlingual (after language develops). Diagnosis/testing. Genetic forms of hearing loss must be distinguished from acquired (non-genetic) causes of hearing loss. The genetic forms of hearing loss are diagnosed by otologic, audiologic, and physical examination, family history , ancillary testing (such as CT examination of the temporal bone), and molecular genetic testing . Molecular genetic tests are available for many types of syndromic and nonsyndromic deafness, often only on a research basis. On a clinical basis, molecular genetic testing is available for the diagnosis of branchiootorenal (BOR) syndrome gene ), Mohr-Tranebjaerg syndrome (deafness-dystonia-optic atrophy syndrome;

Hearing loss overview There are four main types of hearing loss; conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, central hearing loss and mixed hearing loss. Hearing problems in children It can be very difficult to determine if a child under the age of 19 months has a problem with their hearing because very young children and babies will respond to their environment by touch more than sound. Bone conductive hearing aids A bone conductive hearing aid is designed for those who for one reason or another cannot wear the traditional style hearing aid. Buying hearing aids Once you have been diagnosed as hard of hearing and the doctor or ENT specialist have determined that you can benefit from the use of a hearing aid then you have to decided if you are going to have your hearing aid on the NHS service or go private and purchase your own. Common ear problems Our ears are very complex organs which can easily become damaged; sometimes this damage can lead to deafness while in others it leads to only temporary hearing loss, here are some of the common problems which can have an affect on the hearing. Genes determine what we look like and we inherit them from our parents, just as we can inherit blue or brown eyes from them we can also inherit genes which cause problems with our health and some forms of deafness can be inherited from our parents through mutated genes.

And as NPR's Joe Palca reports for All Things Considered , she's helping Canadian researchers discover why it is that some people can't carry a tune to save their life. They say genes might be the answer. Testing for Tone Deafness One of Monica's problems with music is her inability to hear differences in pitch. Monica listened to a series of sequences made up of five tones. In each sequence, the fourth tone changed pitch. If the pitch was significantly higher, Monica could detect the change 60 percent of the time. If the pitch was lower than the others, Monica was unable to hear a difference.

40. Deafness Information,Termniology, Categories, SIgn Language, Deaf Education - K1 The word deaf, can have very different meanings based on the background of the person speaking or the context in which the word is used. http://www.k12academics.com/deaf.htm

Home The word deaf, can have very different meanings based on the background of the person speaking or the context in which the word is used. The term is commonly used to mean having profound hearing impairment, a physiological condition causing an inability to receive or process aural stimulation, i.e., sound. Depending on the definition of deafness used, the global deaf population is estimated to be roughly 0.1% of the total population (1 in 1000). The figure is likely to be higher in developing countries than developed countries due to restricted access to health care. Worldwide, at least 5% (1 in 20) are estimated to have a hearing problem great enough to cause them some difficulty. The great majority of people with hearing impairments are elderly or acquired hearing loss after leaving school. A significant minority of deaf people are part of Deaf culture. They are mostly either individuals who were born deaf or became deaf at an early age, and who have a "severe or profound hearing loss"; they can also be children of deaf parents. They use sign language and often emphatically see themselves as not disabled, but rather as members of a cultural or language minority. Members of this group use deaf as a label of cultural identity much more than as an expression of hearing status. When the word is used in this way, it is often capitalized.
