Abstract
Non-syndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) affects approximately 1:2000 newborns and is a significant cause of hearing loss in the elderly. Although the phenotype is quite similar, NSHI is extremely heterogeneous, with over 40 genetic loci now known. A number of the relevant genes have been cloned. These advances are impacting clinical practice and revolutionizing our understanding of the biology of hearing.
