- Title
Genetic hearing loss: the audiologist's perspective.
- Authors
Brewer, Carmen C.; King, Kelly A.
- Abstract
As knowledge regarding the genetic underpinnings of hearing loss has rapidly evolved, the role of the clinician in managing the patient has expanded beyond that of defining the characteristics of the auditory phenotype. The importance and impact of a genetic diagnosis has yet to be fully realized in routine clinical care. However, audiologists are uniquely situated to be front-line healthcare providers for persons of all ages with hereditary hearing loss. Here, we discuss why the combination of genotype and phenotype are necessary for the delivery of personalized and effective clinical care for individuals with genetic hearing loss.
