Waardenburg Syndrome
Waardenburg syndrome is a group of rare genetic disorders that can result in hearing loss as well as changes in hair, skin, and eye color (pigmentation). While the majority of people with Waardenburg syndrome have normal hearing, one or both ears can suffer from moderate to profound hearing loss.

At least some degree of congenital hearing loss and pigmentation deficiencies characterize the condition. This can include bright blue eyes (or one blue eye and one brown eye), a white forelock, or light skin patches, among other things. Waardenburg syndrome affects one in every 42,000 people.
Argyria
Excessive exposure to certain compounds and chemicals, believe it or not, can have serious consequences for your health. Consider the case of argyria. Argyria is a rare skin condition that occurs when silver builds up in your body over time.
Argyria
That means that overexposure to silver chemical compounds or silver dust can turn your skin, eyes, internal organs, nails, and gums a blue-gray color. Sad to say, the change in your skin tone is irreversible. Fortunately, the condition is rare and does not pose a life-threatening threat.
