About Usher Syndrome
Usher syndrome is a rare disease that affects one's hearing, vision, and balance. There are three different types of this syndrome and within those types there are subcategories. This condition exhibits significant variability in how it affects individuals. While some individuals may experience hearing loss from birth, others may develop it later in life. Similarly, vision loss and balance issues can manifest either in early childhood or at a later stage. It is crucial to understand that within the spectrum of Usher syndrome, each person's experience is unique.
