Is hereditary deafness recessive or dominant?
Hereditary deafness can be caused by both recessive and dominant genetic mutations. Autosomal recessive inheritance typically requires two copies of the mutated gene for deafness to manifest, while autosomal dominant inheritance only requires one copy of the mutated gene. There are also other forms of inheritance, such as X-linked and mitochondrial inheritance, that can cause hereditary deafness.
What are genetic causes of deafness?
Deafness is an etiologically heterogeneous trait with many known genetic and environmental causes. Genetic factors account for at least half of all cases of profound congenital deafness, and can be classified by the mode of inheritance and the presence or absence of characteristic clinical features that may permit the diagnosis of a specific form of syndromic deafness. The identification of more than 120 independent genes for deafness has provided profound new insights into the pathophysiology of hearing, as well as many unexpected surprises. Although a large number of genes can clearly cause deafness, recessive mutations at a single locus, GJB2 or Connexin 26, account for more than half of all genetic cases in some, but not all populations.

What is the difference conductive deafness and sensorineural deafness?
Conductive Loss - Normal hearing for bone conduction scores ([ & ]), and showing a hearing loss for Air Conduction scores (X &O) Sensorineural Loss- Hearing loss (equally) for both air and bone conduction
What is - Post-vocational deafness?

What are the causes of partial deafness?
what are the cause of partial deafness
What is an example of conduction deafness?
An example of conduction deafness is otosclerosis, a condition where abnormal bone growth around the stapes bone in the middle ear impedes its ability to transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear. This results in a reduction in sound intensity and can lead to hearing loss. Other examples include fluid accumulation in the middle ear (otitis media) or earwax buildup, which can also block sound transmission.
What's Deafness?
Deafness is when somone is unable to hear anything.
Is deafness hereditary?
Like allergies and birthmarks, deafness as a symptom by itself is not genetic. Deafness as a symptom of a disease which is genetic, is genetic.
