The Huge, Huge Causes And Complications Of Turner Syndrome

Hearing Loss

Men, get your girl's hearing checked out! It'll be fine, just fine, when she's born, but it won't stay this way with Turner syndrome on the playing field. It won't! Sad. Men, she'll deal with hearing loss as she gets older. It's because of the middle ear infections she'll get! Yes, she's going to get them more often than others. And yes, you know it. Her hearing loss becomes more real with every infection. Men, Turner syndrome also means she'll lose nerve function in her ears. That also means hearing loss!

There's also Eustachian tube problems to know about. They'll mean more and more ear infections and nerve damage. That's not good for her hearing! Growths in her ear also happen lots with this condition. That's sudden hearing loss, not progressive. The good news? Both kinds are treatable! Men, you've got the power to help your baby girl. Getting a doc to remove the growths is one way. Hearing aids and cochlear implants are great too. They're so great!
