Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Genetics
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with various physical anomalies.
- Hearing impairment, specifically conductive hypoacusis, is a potential but often overlooked complication.
- Impaired hearing can significantly impact speech development and cognitive function in affected individuals.
