J Laryngol Otol. 2002 Feb;116(2):125-6. doi: 10.1258/0022215021909845.

Abstract

The association of Kallmann's syndrome with conductive hearing loss has not previously been described. We report the findings at tympanotomy in three ears of patients with Kallmann's syndrome and conductive deafness. The literature related to this topic is reviewed, and the treatment of these patients is discussed.
