13 Correlation to behavioural development? Preliminary findings indicate: Normal IQ Good speech Poor communication, especially in interactions with others Executive function difficulties, especially in the domain of impulse control, working memory and attention Most patients exhibit hyperativity and conduct problems that is indicative of ADHD 7/13/16 CI2016 Toronto 13

14 Summary Cochlear implantation is possible in x-linked deafness through a standard transmastoid approach with a 24 mm straight electrode. Good hearing outcomes can be achieved. X-linked POU3F4 deafness is today described as non-syndromal, however we believe that DFNX2 is instead a syndrome with HL and hyperactive disability. 7/13/16 CI2016 Toronto 14
