Help Drive the Next Breakthrough for People Living With Usher Syndrome
Usher syndrome affects approximately 30,000 people in the United States and an estimated 332,000 people worldwide.
The condition is characterized by combined vision and hearing loss, and in some cases, balance dysfunction. Worldwide, it is the leading cause of combined deafness and blindness.
Hearing loss in Usher syndrome occurs because the gene mutations affecting the retina also affect the cochlea, a sound-transmitting structure of the inner ear.
Your support makes it possible for us to pursue the groundbreaking research needed and bring us closer to treatments and cures for people living with Usher syndrome.
Donations made through this page are unrestricted and support the Foundation Fighting Blindness' mission to advance research for all diseases within our portfolio, not solely Usher syndrome.
