How Does a Person Inherit Hereditary Deafness?

Hereditary Deafness can be Autosomal Recessive, Autosomal Dominant, or X-Linked. It all depends on the disease that caused the deafness. It can also be Syndromic or Nonsyndromic. Meaning the hearing deficiency can happen because of a malformation in the external ear, or it can happen because of abnormalities in the middle or inner ear. This Disease is Genetic.
