It is the most common condition that involves both hearing and vision problems .
There are three types of Usher syndrome:
* People with type I are deaf from birth and have severe balance problems from a young age. Vision problems usually develop by age 10 and lead to blindness.
* People with type II have moderate to severe hearing loss and normal balance. Vision problems develop in the early teens and progress more slowly than in type I .
* People with type III are born with normal hearing and near-normal balance but develop vision problems and then hearing loss .
There is no cure. Tools such as hearing aids or cochlear implants can help some people . Training such as Braille instruction, low-vision services or auditory training can also help.
