RESUMO

Hearing loss constitutes an important category of congenital defects that can be expressed isolately or making part of the phenotypical spectrum of several syndromes. The aim of this study is to establish the sex-ratio, type, degree, symmetry, laterality, progression , and to find out the etiology of non syndromic hearing loss, establishing, when possible, the inheritance pattern providing ways to genetic couseling. During 18 months, 306 patients were evaluated at Centro de Atendimento aos Distúrbios da Audição, Linguagem e Visão of the Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais-USP. Nonsyndromic hearing loss was observed in 144 of them; syndromic hearing loss in 134; only speech impairment in 27, and only visual impairment in 1. According criteria only the 144 patients with nonsyndromic were selected for this study. There were 83 females (57.6%) and 61males (42.4%); genetic etiology was found in 95.8% of the sample and environmental etiology in 4.2%; major and minor associated anomalies were not related with hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss was found in 99.3% and severeprofound hearing loss was the most frequent (34.8%). Others results were: asymmetrical hearing loss in 54.9%, bilateral hearing loss in 95.8%, and non progressive in 95.1%. This study allow to conclude that the familial and clinical data were important to define etiological diagnosis; the shape of audiograms were evaluations that help to clarify, but not define, the diagnosis. Genetic counseling is difficult when the pattern of inheritance is unknown; and molecular studies are important subsidiary test to define the etiology of the hearing loss.
