Summary

Turner's syndrome patients often experience hearing loss due to ear infections. Regular audiology monitoring is crucial for managing potential chronic ear conditions and hearing impairment in these individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Genetics
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Turner's syndrome is characterized by gonadal dysgenesis, short stature, and sexual development issues due to an abnormal karyotype.
  • Otorhinolaryngologic conditions significantly impact Turner's syndrome patients, involving anomalies of the ear, oral cavity, and pharynx.
  • Otological issues in Turner's syndrome often stem from inflammatory infections, leading to long-term hearing consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and types of hearing loss in patients with Turner's syndrome.
  • To identify the specific otological pathologies contributing to hearing impairment in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Otofunctional evaluation was conducted on 21 patients diagnosed with Turner's syndrome.
  • Hearing loss was assessed, with a focus on identifying conductive hearing loss and associated conditions like otitis media.

Main Results:

  • Conductive hearing loss was the predominant type, observed in 42.8% of the patients.
  • Otitis media was diagnosed in 33.3% of patients, and chronic otitis media in 9.5%.

Conclusions:

  • Turner's syndrome patients exhibit a high incidence of conductive hearing loss, frequently linked to otitis media.
  • Attentive audiology monitoring is essential for early detection of chronic ear conditions, cholesteatoma, and for planning potential hearing rehabilitation or prosthetic interventions.
