Abstract
According to the majority of authorities on the subject, a genetic aetiology is implicated in 50% or more of cases of auditory loss [1–5]. Hearing loss may occur as part of a syndrome or in isolation. Just as in every genetic disorder, the inheritance pattern may be autosomal dominant (AD) or recessive (AR), X-linked, mitochondrial or a spontaneous mutation [6].
