Congenital sensorineural hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder, with approximately 1 in every 1000 newborns in developed countries suffering from severe-to-profound hearing loss. At least half of those cases are attributable to genetic causes with more than 90 causative genes identified to date reflecting the complex clinical and genetic landscapes of hereditary hearing loss [1, 2].
