Brief summary
To compare the audiological profiles in postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis and to examine the pattern of hearing loss in osteoporotic patients. postmenopausal women will be separated as normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic according to bone mineral densitometry results. The evaluation of hearing test will be done in these groups and the results will be compared between the groups.
