Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit an article for a Special Issue on “Genetics of Hearing Loss—Volume II”, which follow the 2022 issue on the same topic.
The 2022 Issue was dedicated to Victor McKusick (1921–2008), known as the “father of medical genetics”: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/audiolres/special_issues/hearing_lose; the 2023 issue is dedicated to Bob Gorlin on the centenary of his birth (Robert James Gorlin (January 11, 1923–August 29, 2006)).
Dr. Robert Gorlin described more than 100 syndromes involving oral pathology, craniofacial genetics, otolaryngology, and obstetrics. He had more than 700 articles catalogued in PubMed and authored several genetics and oral pathology textbooks. Robert Gorlin also gave a great contribution in the field of hereditary hearing loss. Gorlin published with Bruce Konigsmark Genetic and Metabolic Deafness, and this book [1] and the following ones [2–7] have been fundamental for the development of knowledge on genetic deafness and of great help in the clinical practice.
Many discoveries have revolutionized our approach to children with hearing loss in these 50 years. However, due to the extreme genetic heterogeneity of non-syndromic hearing loss, the research in this field radically changed only after the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, which have allowed the discovery of more than 100 genes known so far.
In this Special Issue, we would like to collect contributions on the genetics of hearing loss, a continuously evolving topic.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Audiology Research is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
