About 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children in the United States are born with a detectable level of hearing loss in one or both ears. 1; More than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing parents. 2; Approximately 15% of American adults (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some trouble hearing. 3
As one of the most common genetic causes of hearing loss, GJB2-related hearing loss is considered a recessive genetic disorder because the mutations only cause deafness in individuals who inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent.nherited genetic defects play an important role in congenital hearing loss, contributing to about 60 percent of deafness occurring in infants. Although exact data is not available, it is likely that genetics plays an important role in hearing loss in the elderly.
