  However, molecular etiology of hearing impairment in the Tibetan Chinese population living in the Tibetan Plateau has not been investigated. [paperity.org]

  Impairment is determined by weighting the better ear five times the poorer ear ( Table 2 ). 3 Table 2: Percent hearing impairment Note: Because conversational speech is at approximately 50 to 60 dB hearing level (HL), calculating functional impairment [nature.com]

  Percent Hearing Impairment % Impairment Pure Tone Average (dB) 1 % Residual Hearing 100% 91 dB 0% 80% 78 dB 20% 60% 65 dB 40% 30% 45 dB 70% 1. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In affected males, the auditory impairment affects initially high-frequency hearing. It later evolves to become severe to profound and affects all frequencies. Carrier females manifest moderate hearing impairment in the high frequencies. [genecards.org]

They will do a detailed history, complete a physical exam, and if necessary refer you to an audiologist for a thorough audiology workup. [verywell.com]

For example if a KNCQ1 mutation is found, additional cardiac workup may be warranted since mutations in this gene are also associated with cardiac rhythm abnormalities. [bcidaho.com]

Diagnostic yield in the workup of congenital sensorineural hearing loss is dependent on patient ethnicity. Otol Neurotol, 32 (2011), pp. 81-87 [84] P. Gardner, E. Oitmaa, A. Messner, L. Hoefsloot, A. Metspalu, I. Schrijver. [elsevier.es]

Parents must be informed on the diagnosis and conditions that follow the clinical manifestation, prognosis, inheritance mode and treatment options. [oldfiles.bjorl.org]

In addition, a genetic diagnosis can prevent unnecessary testing (CT, MRI, neurophysiological studies, etc.). - Prognosis: it is often possible to predict the evolution of deafness, establishing a prognosis based on the genotype of each patient. 30,31 [elsevier.es]

These factors lend credence to the theory that patients with GJB2 and GJB6 mutations may have a favorable prognosis following cochlear implantation, and that patients with other mutations or without a documented mutation may have a less favorable prognosis [bcidaho.com]

However, molecular etiology of hearing impairment in the Tibetan Chinese population living in the Tibetan Plateau has not been investigated. [paperity.org]

DISCUSSION Detailed family history is one of the most important clues as to the HL etiology, defining the inheritance pattern in the family. [oldfiles.bjorl.org]

Single-gene testing may be warranted in cases in which the medical or family history, or presentation of the hearing loss, suggests a specific etiology. [bcidaho.com]

The genetic etiologies, account for 40-50% of cases, can be inherited as either syndromic or non-syndromic forms, or have a spectrum of inheritance patterns [ 2, 5 ]. [omicsonline.org]

Identifying genetic causes, also referred to by physicians as etiology, can be very frustrating. To help minimize the difficulty in identifying the cause, you should have a team-based approach. [verywell.com]

From the molecular data presently available, three main epidemiologic results emerge: (a) Mutations in the gene encoding a gap junction protein, connexin 26, account for about half of the cases of prelingual isolated deafness in Caucasian populations; [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

(Modified from Bell, 2004) CONCLUSION -Epidemiological data estimate that at least 50% of the pre-speech hearing losses are caused by genetic alterations. [oldfiles.bjorl.org]

The benefits for patients can be classified into five main areas: prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and reproduction. - Prevention: preventive measures are effective in hereditary hearing loss conditioned by environmental factors, such as mutations [elsevier.es]

Mutations in these genes alter the usual structure and function of potassium channels or prevent the assembly of normal channels. [emedicine.medscape.com]
