According to the 3/96 SHHH Journal, scientists at the National
Institute on Deafness are attempting to locate the genes which cause
hereditary hearing loss.  They're looking for families where the
parents have normal hearing, and at least two children have had a
profound hearing loss from an early age - excluding Waardenburg or
Ushers syndrome.

Hi Steve,

I don't know if my two older brothers fit the bill, but both had measels when they were yound with a high 
fever. They both were pretty much half deaf shortly after.

They are 51 and 54 and I am 41 with what appears to be SIT.

I don't know if they are too old, or if they would have to answer more than a questionaire.

However, I will be telling the ENY at NYU about them on Monday, as it might be the reason for my tinnitus in 
some way.
