Figure 1.
Pedigrees and audiological phenotype of the three probands. Pure tone audiograms of three ANSD subjects display moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss, with poor speech discrimination score. DPOAE responses are observed, whereas ABR waveforms are absent or abnormal (a) SH191-430, (b) SH222-518, and (c) SB284-563. The patient SB284-563 shows detectable wave on ABR at 90 dB stimulus on the right ear and no response in both OAE and ABR after two-years. (PTA pure tone audiometry; SDS speech discrimination score; DPOAE distortion product optoacoustic emission; ABR auditory brainstem response; NA not available).
