High impact information on Hearing Impaired Persons

Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons were less likely to report receiving preventive information from physicians or the media, and more likely to report receiving it from a Deaf club [1].
Both GJB2 and GJB6 genes belong to the same DFNB1 locus and when the two mutations are found in combination in a hearing-impaired person, a digenic pattern of inheritance is suggested [2].
Evaluation of Cx26/GJB2 in German hearing impaired persons: mutation spectrum and detection of disequilibrium between M34T (c.101T>C) and -493del10 [3].
These studies were conducted to determine the performance-intensity functions of the Maryland CNC Test (male voice) with normal-hearing and hearing-impaired persons, to examine the equivalence of the 10 lists, and to determine test-retest reliability [4].
