IntroductionWomen with Turner Syndrome have an increased prevalence of hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss (CHL) is thought to be caused by craniofacial abnormalities or defective mucociliary transport resulting in impaired middle ear ventilation, increased otitis media and tympanic perforations. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) progresses with age, possibly due to premature aging. An adult population was assessed for the impact of childhood treatment...
