REASONS FOR TESTING: Genetic testing for hearing loss can provide important answers to many questions. By determining the cause of hearing loss, information can be given on recurrence risk for future children, prognosis (whether hearing loss will worsen over time), and best method of treatment (such as cochlear implants or hearing aids).
List of genes available upon request. If interested, please contact MORL at 319-335-6623 for the full gene list.
