According to the pedigree chart (Fig. 1A), the hearing impairment and PPK is presumably originally inherited from his grandmother because his 54-year-old mother and 52-year-old uncle also had hearing impairment and PPK. [docksci.com]

This complex trait is called presbyacusis and is the commonest form of adult onset hearing loss. Monogenic forms of postlingual progressive hearing impairment are also seen. [jmg.bmj.com]
Onset Prelingual hearing loss is present before speech develops. All congenital hearing loss is prelingual, but not all prelingual hearing loss is congenital. Postlingual hearing loss occurs after the development of normal speech. [nature.com]
The presence of postlingual hearing loss cases in the present study could be due to apparent identification by the patient's parent that their child suffers from hearing loss. [karger.com]
X-linked nonsyndromic hearing loss can be either pre- or postlingual; one disorder, DFNX3, has mixed hearing loss. Table 6. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Tinnitus
Results Clinical description For the proband, the initial onset of hearing loss occurred at age 30 along with tinnitus but not vertigo. [journals.plos.org]
Tinnitus was reported by some of the affected members, but no other consistent medical or physical abnormalities were detected. [nejm.org]
