Abstract

Symptoms of mild hearing loss occurring in childhood often go unnoticed. Various physical and psychological activities of children
and adolescents may be affected due to hearing impairment. The conductive hearing loss resulting from Eustachian tube dysfunction initiated by TEMPOROMANDIBULAR
DISORDERS IS OFTEN NOT CONSIDERED. It is vital the early detection of this deficiency. This article develops the clinical case of a preteen patient with joint multisymptomatology with the corresponding studies showing its favorable evolution
