The main reason for the hearing loss in childhood is nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss. The mode of inheritance is X-linked in 1-5 % of the cases. In this kind of inheritance the females are usually carriers and the males are affected. Nevertheless, some carriers may also have mild to moderate hearing loss whereas the affected males is likely to have severe hearing loss. In this study, the data obtained from 5 families that thought to have X-linked inheritance were presented. The criteria for X-linked inheritance were evaluated and its differential diagnosis with the autosomal recessiye inheritance was discussed.
