For example, scientists have identified the DFNA10 gene, which causes progressive hearing loss later in adulthood 3. [nationalhearingtest.org]

Normal Hearing
His mother also carried the mutation but had normal hearing. Consequently, the mutation was not considered to be the cause of the proband's hearing loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This variation was not found in the 100 unrelated individuals with normal hearing (data not shown). [bmcmedgenet.biomedcentral.com]
A child born with hearing loss of a genetic nature can have parents with normal hearing. Quite often parents are carriers of a genetic disorder and yet do not display that disorder themselves. [nationalhearingtest.org]
