We aimed to investigate whether the degree of hearing loss with GJB2 mutations could be predicted by distinguishing between truncating and non-truncating mutations and whether the genotype could predict the hearing loss level. Additionally, we examined the progression of hearing loss in individuals monitored for over 2 years for an average of 6.9 years. The proportion of truncating mutations was higher in...
