Estrogen deficiency and risk of hearing loss in pediatric Turner syndrome

Key Points

• The aim is to examine the relationship between estrogen deficiency and risk of hearing loss in pediatric Turner syndrome.
• Analyzed medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with Turner syndrome.
• Assessed estrogen levels and hearing function through audiometric testing.
• Correlated estrogen deficiency with incidences of hearing loss.
• Found a significant association between estrogen deficiency and higher rates of hearing loss.
• Noted that children with Turner syndrome have an increased risk for auditory issues related to estrogen levels.
• Recommended monitoring of hearing health in patients with Turner syndrome.
