In a survey of 78 hearing impaired children, 33% were found to have ocular abnormalities. The abnormalities were relatively minor, the most frequent being altered retinal pigmentation. Although congenital rubella infection was the most common cause of this finding the cause in others was more obscure. Possible causes for hearing loss associated with retinal pigment and other tissue changes are abnormal cilia, abnormalities in cells with similar embryological origins and genetic defects affecting pigmentation.
在一项对78名听力受损儿童的调查中，发现33%的儿童有眼部异常。这些异常相对较轻，最常见的是视网膜色素沉着改变。虽然先天性风疹感染是这一发现的最常见原因，但其他儿童的病因则较为模糊。与视网膜色素及其他组织变化相关的听力损失的可能原因是纤毛异常、具有相似胚胎学起源的细胞异常以及影响色素沉着的基因缺陷。
