Community Advisor Search Send to a friend Home  Diseases, Conditions and Injuries Usher Syndrome by Laurie Rosenblum, MPH Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations Definition Usher syndrome is a rare inherited disorder that involves loss of both hearing and sight. Hearing loss is usually present at birth or soon thereafter. It is due to an impaired ability of the auditory nerves to transmit sensory input to the brain. It is called sensorineural hearing loss. The vision loss, called retinitis pigmentosa (RP), begins later in childhood, usually after age ten. It slowly gets worse over time. During the teen years, loss of vision is characterized by night blindness and loss of peripheral vision. RP is a deterioration of the retina. The retina is a layer of light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. It converts visual images into nerve impulses in the brain that allow us to see. Three types of Usher syndrome have been identified: types I, II, and III. The age of onset and severity of symptoms distinguish the different types. Usher syndrome accounts for over 50% of the deaf and blind people in the United States.

Skip Navigational Links Spanish Version Project News Does this Child See/Hear? ... Contact Us What is Usher Syndrome Usher syndrome is a genetic disorder involving the loss of both sight and hearing. The hearing loss generally occurs at birth or shortly thereafter; while a progressive loss of vision due to retinitis pigmentosa (a degeneration of the retina of the eyes) begins later in life, usually before adolescence. AT first, the vision loss may be gradual and barely noticeable, but in almost all cases the result is legal blindness. There are currently three identifiable types of Usher syndrome: Usher syndorme Type 1, Usher syndrome Type II and Usher syndrome Type III. An individual with Usher Type I has a profound hearing loss at birth, experiences balance problems due to vestibular loss, and experiences vision loss usually in early childhood. In Usher Type II, an individual has a sloping audiogram going from a moderate loss in the low frequencies to profound impairments in the higher frequecies, has no balance problems, and usually begins to lose his/her vision in the midteens. A person with Usher syndrome Type III starts with normal or near-normal hearing that progressively deteriorates, might have some balance distrubance, and experiences vision loss by midteens. Usher syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 25,000 and the incidence is estimated to posibly be as high as 1 in 10,000 individuals. This range is due to the difficulty in identifying persons with Usher syndrome, particulary persons with Type II Usher. Of persons iwth Usher syndrome, approximately 90% will have Type I Usher, with Type II accounting for almost 10%. At this time, Usher syndrome Type III appears to occur primarily in Finland.

Usher Syndrome Usher Syndrome is a genetic disorder. People who have Usher Syndrome are usually born deaf or hard of hearing, then gradually lose their sight due to Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). RP is an eye condition which is generally diagnosed when the sufferer notices problems with night vision. As RP progresses, the field of vision narrows and "tunnel vision" develops. Other symptoms include difficulty adjusting to a change in lighting conditions and problems seeing when there is low contrast (e.g. concrete or carpeted stairs with no edge markings can be difficult to distinguish). Usher Types There are three known types of Usher Syndrome which are summarised below: Type 1 Born with a profound hearing loss Balance problems Vision starts to deteriorate due to RP at around 8 - 12 years old, or in some cases even earlier Many people with Type 1 Usher use sign language Type 2 Born with moderate to severe hearing loss Vision starts to deteriorate due to RP at around 20 - 25 years old or sometimes as early as the teens No balance problems in childhood Many people with Type 2 Usher use speech and lip-reading to communicate Type 3 Hearing loss develops and worsens over time Vision starts to deteriorate due to RP at around 20 - 30 years old. (The hearing loss often develops or deteriorates at about the same time)

USHER SYNDROME Symptoms and Cause This genetic condition causes hearing loss from birth and progressive loss of sight due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which causes degeneration of the retina. Often the first symptom of RP is night blindness, followed by narrowing side vision leading to what is called "tunnel vision". Two types of Usher syndrome In Usher Syndrome Type 1, there is severe damage to the cochlea from a very early age and therefore the child has severe deafness from birth. The child usually develops problems with night vision and tunnel vision due to RP in the first 10 years of life. People with this condition usually communicate by signing. This clearly can become more difficult as vision deteriorates. In Usher Syndrome Type 2, the hearing loss is more variable, ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms of RP usually develop from late adolescence to late twenties. Communication is enhanced in these people with hearing aids and lip reading. LARA'S STORY Lara has been diagnosed with Usher Syndrome Type 2. She is currently Co-ordinator of the Youth Group for Retina Australia Queensland Lara is currently studying meetings and events management, and is planning a career in media, focusing on motivational speaking.

The hearing loss is usually congenital and may be total or partial. Retinitis pigmentosa, a progressive deterioration of the retina which causes night blindness, tunnel vision and finally severely reduced central vision, may not occur until late childhood or early adulthood. In some forms poor balance is an associated problem. Diagnosis of Usher syndrome may be delayed until the visual problems have become significant because peripheral and night vision are not routinely tested in school children. There are three types of the syndrome. Type I is characterised by profound congenital hearing loss, poor balance and retinitis pigmentosa before the age of 10. Type II presents moderate to severe hearing loss, normal balance and retinitis pigmentosa develops in the late teens or early 20's.

Home PEPNet Counseling Students Who Have Usher's Syndrome 1 of 4 Usher Syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by congenital hearing loss and gradually developing retinitis pigmentosa leading to the loss of vision. Approximately 25,000 people in the United States have some form of Usher Syndrome. Most of these individuals have either Type I (10,000) or Type II (15,000). Type I Usher Syndrome is characterized by profound congenital deafness, vision problems starting in early childhood, and severe balance problems. An individual born with a moderate to severe hearing loss and normal balance characterizes Type II Usher Syndrome. Night blindness for Type II begins at childhood, but many individuals might not be aware of it until late adolescence/early adulthood. Historically, most students with Usher Syndrome Type I attended residential schools and colleges for the deaf, while individuals with Type II attended regular public schools and universities. With the mainstreaming of deaf and hard-of-hearing students brought about by Public Law 94-142, students with both Type I and II Usher Syndrome can be found in all types of educational settings. It is critical for support service personnel and counselors in college/university environments who work with students with Usher SyndromeÐregardless of typeÐto have a good understanding of special issues that arise for these students and to be aware of strategies that will benefit this population. It also is critical that professionals have a good understanding of Usher Syndrome and what it means to be deaf/hard of hearing and to be losing oneÕs vision.
