Syndromic vs non-syndromic (not associated with anything else, specific)

Nonsyndromic deafness is hearing loss that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. In contrast, syndromic deafness involves hearing loss that occurs with abnormalities in other parts of the body. Different types of nonsyndromic deafness are named according to their inheritance patterns.
