Hi ,

 

You may want to reach out to Kinney.  She is deaf due to CMT1E and

recently had successful cochlear implants.

 

You can reach her through her website:

Hi

We have an 8 year old girl that we adopted in Guatemala. She was diagnosed with

CMT 2 but they are not sure. She has already had surgery to lengthen both

tendons and is walking and running well with braces. She is totally deaf in one

ear and partially in the other and she is also losing her vision. Has anyone out

there know of anyone else that has similar symptoms as this and if so what what

the CMT type that they gave. Our daughter is having genetic testing at the end

of October but she was abandoned at birth so we do not know who or where her

parents are.

Any info would help.

Thanks

Hi ,

There are many types of CMT that can have hearing and vision disturbance. Best

to wait until you know the subtype. But if you want to see them all.

I have CMT myself, unknown type, some sort of recessive type. Haven't had the

DNA test. No CMT in my family anywhere that I've been able to trace. But no

vision or hearing problems.
