A member asked:

A grey patch of hair developed on my head in 2018 (it's positioned like a fat strand at the mid frontal of my hair). also in 2020 i developed unilateral sshl :(. do you think these two things can be linked? waardenburg sydrome? or just poliosis?

No, those 2 issues are likely unrelated in your case. The sensory hearing loss in Waardenburg sydrome is a congenital disorder which is different from the more common SSHL in your case, usually reversible with early treatment. Regarding you hair patch, you are probably correct about poliosis.
