Connexin 26 is a known genetic cause of hearing loss. The hearing loss occurs because the mutation disrupts potassium flow in the inner ear. ... Advances in genetics have enabled scientists to identify genes that cause hearing loss. A substantial portion of people with nonsyndromic hearing loss have Connexin 26 disorder.
