Hereditary hearing disorders are among the most common known monogenic disorders and are characterised by strong genetic heterogeneity and clinical variability. Depending on the severity of the symptoms and age of onset, a hearing disorder can lead to serious social and cognitive impairments. Therefore, an early diagnosis and individualised medical care are essential.
