Abstract： Genetic factor is one of the most important etiologies in severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss and plays an important role in cochlear implantation outcomes. As pathogenic mutation types of deafness genes have been cloned, the pathogenesis and the relationship between it and the outcomes of cochlear implantation have become a hot research area. The auditory performance is considered to be effected by the number of etiologies of hearing loss, surviving spiral ganglion cells and others. The current research development of cochlear implantation for hereditary deafness, especially regarding the relationship among clinical types, genotypes and outcomes of cochlear implantation, will be discussed in this review article.
