There are more than 80 genes associated with sensorineural hearing loss identified and described in the literature. Among them, GJB2 gene with mutation 35delG and mitochondrial gene 12SrRNA with mutation A1555G are recognized to be the most frequent and important in the aetiology of congenital non-syndromic hearing loss and hearing impairment related to aminoglycosides treatment. This review presents data and outcomes on studies conducted at the Otolaryngology and Oncological Laryngology Department at Poznan University of Medical Sciences.
