Summary

This study looks at people with a type of inherited hearing loss (called DFNA) and their family members to learn which genes cause it. Researchers will collect hearing tests, balance tests, blood samples, and skin biopsies over up to 20 years. The goal is to gather information that may help develop gene-editing treatments in the future.
