ABSTRACT
Introduction: sensorineural hearing loss is one of the main symptoms of Waardenburg syndrome. Twenty six (26) individuals of a family living in Sandino municipality are carriers of this genetic entity.Objective: to characterize hearing loss in people affected by Waardenburg syndrome.
Methods: a descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out with people affected by hearing loss belonging to a family who suffers from Waardenburg syndrome in Sandino municipality.
Results: sensorineural hearing loss analyzed in these cases presented a cochlear location, although in some cases, associated retrocochlear injury is not discarded, and its intensity may be increased by noise exposure.
Conclusions: this research incorporates important aspects of hearing loss in cases affected by Waardenburg syndrome, not described before, offering the possibility to present them in a new way to develop and update knowledge about this disease.
