10 Turner Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Ear Problems
Turner syndrome leads to development and normal functioning problems in almost every organ in the human body, including the ears. Common ear problems include chronic infections of the middle ear, cholesteatoma, conductive hearing loss, and sensorineural hearing loss.
Sensorineural hearing loss develops as a result of the gradual loss of the normal nerve function. It appears in late childhood or early adulthood. Hearing aids or cochlear implants can help treat this problem, depending on the severity of the hearing loss.
