Discussion of underlying conditions of Hearing Impairment:

This article reports the results of a screening study on children with severe to profound, preverbal hearing-impaired children for Usher syndrome by examination and ERG testing. They found that 10% of such children were diagnosed with Usher syndrome and conclude that all children with severe to profound, preverbal hearing impairment should be screened for Usher syndrome. (Source: excerpt from Usher Syndrome Resource Guide: NEI)
