    It says the conditions may be genetic as the problems seem to run in families and one in nine patients seen at the hearing department is from the Roma community

    Suzanne Carrick, specialist paediatric audiologist at the Children's Hospital, said: "All children have investigations into the cause of their hearing loss, but there've been no specific studies in this population."

    Sheffield Council says it, along with schools, is supporting the Roma children.

    In a report to councillors, officers say: "One example of this is the unit which has been set up at Owler Brook Primary School, jointly organised and funded by the school and Sheffield Council, where 25 pupils with medium to profound hearing impairment are taught daily by a specialist teacher."
