The Audiological Aspect of Beckwith–Wiedemann Syndrome: A Systematic Review
: Hearing impairment in BWS is clinically relevant and often conductive, likely related to middle-ear anomalies. Early, multidisciplinary audiological evaluation-including imaging when indicated-and individualized rehabilitation can optimize auditory and communicative outcomes. The evidence is limited by the small number of studies and heterogeneous reporting of audiological outcomes.
