Table 3.

Hearing loss severity score stratified by different genotypes among the different gene variants: 44 (mild), 92 (moderate), 33 (severe), and 31 (profound). HL severity score is graded in the following: mild hearing loss (16–40 dB HL), moderate hearing loss (41–70 dB HL), severe hearing loss (71–90 dB HL), and profound hearing loss (>90).
