Key Points

This research aims to highlight the importance of genetic testing in diagnosing hereditary hearing loss that appears after school age.
Evaluation of genetic tests for early-onset and syndromic hearing loss in clinical settings.
Assessment of clinical significance concerning hearing prognosis and intervention decisions through genetic findings.
Genetic testing consistently predicts hearing prognosis and potential symptoms in other organs.
Identifying hereditary hearing loss leads to more effective use of audiological interventions, like hearing aids and cochlear implants.
There is a need for continuous genetic counseling and management for cases suspected to have dominant inheritance into adulthood.

Evaluates genetic testing impact on hearing loss management in post-school-age individuals, indicating the need for better clinician understanding.
