Summary

Autosomal recessive deafness-125 (DFNB125) is characterized by congenital nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Mild progression in the lower frequencies has been observed. Hearing loss results from a mechanism that alters the way the traveling sound wave propagates along the cochlea (Chen et al., 2021). [from OMIM]
