Close.  Waardenburg syndrome.  The genes involved cause a disruption in
pigment cells noticible as white spots in places including down the top of
the head.  As I was told pigment cells are involved in hearing somehow.
When the pigment cells are in a "pattern" that involves the auditory nerves
then hearing is impaired.  I think it was Dr Williams who explained the
pigment portion.
