Audiograms of a 26-year-old woman with hereditary hearing loss and beta-mannosidosis

A 26-year-old woman (proband II/1 from a Slovak family) with hereditary hearing loss and beta-mannosidosis. The dashed line represents the Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR), and objective estimation of the hearing threshold. Full lines are pure-tone, audiometric curves at ages 13 and 26 years. The discrepancy between pure tone audiometry and ASSR thresholds measured at the same age (26 years) might result from mental retardation.
