Outcomes of cochlear implants in patients with PCDH15 mutations: a clinical study
CI significantly improved auditory and communication abilities in individuals with <i>PCDH15</i> mutations. Early intervention is critical for achieving favorable outcomes. Preoperative genetic testing in individuals with hearing loss provides valuable insights for predicting CI success, offering potential treatments for retinal degeneration in Usher syndrome and facilitating personalized genetic counseling.
