With type two usher syndrome the child is born with moderate to severe hearing loss. He/she will be able to balance and walking ability. They can communicate orally, but can also benefit from hearing aids. their vision will fade much slower than those with type 1, and wont show symptoms of RP until their teenage years.

Type 1 is the most severe type, it starts when the child is born. the child is born with profound hearing problems. they will have vestibular problems (which cause people to not balance properly) and most likely wont be able to sit independently before 18 months of age. Although hearing aids would be the most logical method to increase the child's hearing, it rarely helps. Introducing intervention early on will benefit the child so the parents will be able to take advantage of the child's brain when its most receptive and teach the child how to communicate.
