ABSTRACT

Deafness is one of the most common birth defects in newborns, ranking at the top of the five major disabilities. It is essential to perform rapid and precise genetic screening for combined hearing and deafness in newborns immediately after birth. In recent years, due to the rapid advancements in molecular biology technology, research into deafness genes has deepened significantly. Selecting the appropriate genetic tests enhances the detection rate of deafness genes. Choosing suitable intervention strategies can effectively avoid the progression from deafness to muteness. This ensures that children with congenital hearing impairments receive timely and effective interventions and treatments, reducing the incidence of neonatal deafness and enhancing the quality of life for deaf children. This review summarizes the current state of hereditary hearing loss, aiming to offer optimal guidance for advancing combined newborn hearing and genetic screening in clinical practice.
