Summary
This study aims to understand why people with Turner syndrome often lose their hearing. Researchers will look at genetic and epigenetic markers in 150 adults aged 18-60. Participants will have hearing, balance, blood, and imaging tests. The goal is to find new ways to treat or delay hearing loss, possibly reducing the need for hearing aids.
