Effects of RME on Hearing in UCLP Patients: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSION: There was no improvement or deterioration in the hearing levels after RME and at the end of 6 months retention period in UCLP patients as evaluated using pure tone audiometry and tympanometry test. Hence RME may be undertaken in UCLP patients safely in terms of hearing is concerned.PMID:35675169 | DOI:10.1177/10556656221104945 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)
