Oestrogen Deficiency and Growth Hormone Treatment in Childhood Are Not Associated with Hearing in Adults with Turner Syndrome

Abstract

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 assiduous treatment of ENT problems in childhood.
