Genetic Testing and Counseling as Part of the Audiologic Assessment
Despite more than 60% of congenital sensorineural hearing loss being due to an underlying genetic cause, and multiple medical societies recommending a comprehensive gene panel as part of the diagnostic workup, only a minority of eligible patients obtain genetic testing. Audiologists are in a privileged position to be frontline healthcare providers in the diagnosis and management of individuals with genetic forms of hearing loss. The audiologist’s role related to genetic testing and counseling and how the Resonate® sponsored genetic testing and counseling program can be utilized to help facilitate an earlier and more accurate diagnosis will be discussed.
