Congenital due to anomalies of the inner ear or damage to the hearing apparatus by prenatal or perinatal factors. Acquired may be genetic or nongenetic. The genetic hearing loss may manifest late (delayed onset) and may affect only the hearing, or be a part of a larger syndrome affecting other systems of the body as well (syndromal).
