. A case of Beckwith‐Wiedemann syndrome with conductive hearing loss due to fixation of the stapes is described. This is the second case described in the literature. However, some patients may not have been diagnosed. We suggest that hearing of patients with BWS should be tested at intervals from early childhood.
