How Genetics Affect Our Hearing

 Our genetic makeup is inherited from our parents. Genes contain instructions that tell the cells in our bodies how to grow and behave. When a gene does not behave as it’s expected to, it has mutated. The different parts of the ear that create sound are heavily dependent on genetic instructions to do their complex work, and these instructions come from genes. A mutation in any one of these genes can cause hearing loss. Mutated genes that affect hearing are not always inherited, but when more than one person in a family has hearing loss, other family members are at risk. Over 50% of hearing loss in babies is genetic, and 35 to 55% of age-related hearing loss is genetic. 

  Acknowledging that  a hearing problem exists is the first step toward correcting it. The next step is turning to a hearing aid specialist for comprehensive examination, evaluation, and determination of the best approach to the impairment. Are you thinking there might be a problem with your  hearing? Would you like to learn more about today’s advanced technology in hearing  instruments? We can help you address these issues and others.

P.S. There are some medications that cause hearing loss, but only in people with certain gene mutations.
