Abstract

Women with Turner syndrome (TS) have an increased prevalence of hearing loss, with conductive (CHL) and sensorineural (SNHL) components. The association between hearing loss and clinical parameters, particularly oestrogen and previous growth hormone (GH) treatment, was investigated. A cross-sectional study of pure tone audiometry tests in an adult TS population. Previous ENT history, karyotype, anthropomorphic measurements and the impact of oestrogen and childhood GH therapy were assessed. One hundred and thirty-eight women (median age 29, range 16-67 years) completed the study. Normal hearing was found in 20.3% of women, CHL in 18.8%, SNHL in 57.2% and confounding factors in 3.6%. Neither CHL nor SNHL were associated with oestrogen deficiency or GH treatment independent of age. CHL but not SNHL was more common in those with a history of recurrent otitis media (p < 0.01) and monosomy 45,X (p < 0.01). Current regimens of oestrogen and GH therapy have no impact on adult hearing loss in TS, independent of age. The prevalence of SNHL increases with age. CHL but not SNHL is associated with ENT history and karyotype. According to present evidence, the only possible intervention to reduce hearing loss in women with TS remains assiduou...Continue Reading
