In third world countries the life expectancy is about 53 years, so I expect it to be much higher in the USA.

Some persons are affected more than others, so a number is an average with little significance. If a person's only symptom is hearing impairment, then life expectancy would be akin to the general average. If on the other hand a child was born with complex congenital heart disease, the expectancy would be quite short. It's hardest to predict with brain involvement, depending on severity and quality of care.
In short, your question has no clear answer.
