Understanding Hearing Loss Through Genetic Testing
Facing hearing challenges can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially when the cause remains unknown. The Deafness Gene Panel offers clarity and answers for individuals and families navigating hearing loss concerns. Whether you’re experiencing gradual hearing decline or have a family history of hearing impairment, this comprehensive genetic test provides the insights needed to understand your genetic predisposition and make informed health decisions.
What Our Deafness Gene Panel Detects
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines multiple genes associated with inherited hearing conditions. The test identifies genetic variations that may cause congenital deafness, progressive hearing loss, or susceptibility to hearing impairment from environmental factors. By analysing your genetic makeup, we can pinpoint specific genetic markers that contribute to hearing challenges, providing a clear understanding of your condition’s origin and potential progression.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly valuable if you experience:
- Unexplained hearing loss in childhood or adulthood
- Family history of hearing impairment across generations
- Progressive hearing decline without clear medical cause
- Planning pregnancy with concerns about inherited hearing conditions
- Children with delayed speech development or hearing challenges
- Sudden hearing loss episodes requiring genetic explanation
