Abstract

The association of hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa has been generally recognized as Usher's Syndrome, although variations in the syndrome have not been clearly delineated. The diagnosis of a progressive visual disease in a person with severe hearing impairment has devastating implications for the individual's future. This article reviews findings of this syndrome and suggests strategies for dealing with some of the clinical problems displayed by Ushers Syndrome patients.
