  Wikipedia
  Definition: A cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. The cochlear implant is often referred to as a "bionic ear".
  As of April 2009, approximately 188,000 people worldwide had received cochlear implants; in the United States, about 40,000 adults and over 30,000 children are recipients.
  The vast majority are in developed countries due to the high cost of the (...)

• DFNA44
  5 July 2011

  The autosomal dominant progressive hearing loss designated DFNA44 is caused by a mutation in the CCDC50 gene (MIM.611051), which encodes an effector of epidermal growth factor-mediated cell signaling.

  Definition: Autosomal recessive congenital deafness with by type I microtia, microdontia, and profound congenital deafness associated with a complete absence of inner ear structures (Michel aplasia) (MIM.610706).
  Pathology
  The autosomal recessive combination of congenital deafness with inner ear agenesis (Michel aplasia), microtia, and microdontia can be caused by mutations in the FGF3 gene (MIM.164950).

  Physiopathology
  Specific myosins are implicated in sensory transduction.
  Mutations in the genes encoding myosin-VI and myosin-VIIa have been linked to several disorders characterized by deafness in humans.
  The strongest evidence of a defect in vesicular transport in this group of diseases is found in Usher syndrome type 1B, which is caused by mutations in the gene for myosin-VIIa.
