Parental Judgement of Hearing Loss in Infants With Cleft Palate.

CONCLUSIONS: It is helpful to be aware of parental concern and clinicians should consider that parental reports may not be accurately reflected by test results. As cleft type was not found to substantially influence middle ear status or hearing it is not recommended to adapt speech and language advice offered to families according to cleft type. Follow-up studies to increase participant numbers would support a statistical analysis. PMID: 32013560 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
