What Is Turner Syndrome?
6. Hearing Loss
In addition to the symptoms mentioned, Turner syndrome can also result in severe complications. This can include vision problems and hearing loss. Hearing loss can be exasperated as the patient is more likely to develop infections of the inner ear. The patient may also have problems with the skeleton including scoliosis, and osteoporosis.
Turner syndrome will also make it more likely that the patient will develop autoimmune disorders.
