| hereditary deafness and nephropathy | <nephrology, pathology> An inherited disorder involving damage to the kidneys, haematuria and hearing loss. In some individuals vision may also be affected. This genetic disease is uncommon. Symptoms include loss of hearing, abnormal colour to urine, swelling, cough and decline in vision. Inheritance: sex-linked autosomal dominant. Incidence: 1 in 50,000. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |

| high frequency deafness | Selective loss of hearing acuity for high frequencies, usually associated with neurosensory damage; common in acoustic trauma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| psychogenic deafness | Hearing loss without evidence of organic cause or malingering; often follows severe psychic shock. Synonym: functional deafness, hysterical deafness. (05 Mar 2000) |
