Syndromic hearing loss refers to hearing impairment that occurs as part of a broader medical condition or syndrome. This type of hearing loss is often associated with other symptoms affecting different parts of the body, such as vision problems or developmental delays. Examples of syndromes that can include hearing loss are Usher syndrome and Waardenburg syndrome. Diagnosis of syndromic hearing loss typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and genetic testing. Early identification and intervention are crucial for managing the condition and improving communication skills. Treatment options may include hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other supportive therapies tailored to the individual's needs.
