Testing for genetic and viral etiologies in congenital hearing loss based on a survey of cochlear implant centers: proposed HEARRING group consensus and future directions
A common approach is to perform cCMV and <i>GJB2</i> testing as the first tests, followed by wider genetic testing. This study offers insight into the prevalence, methodologies, and reimbursement status of these testing methodologies across multiple hearing centers and countries. Current consensus and future directions are described based on the current survey.
