Patient demographic data and cleft type were recorded.

The mean age at primary repair was 15.2 months (range: 8-33 months). Seven of the 42 children were syndromic and 4 had Pierre Robin sequence. Preoperatively, 36 patients (86%) were diagnosed with conductive hearing loss. A single patient had hearing aids preoperatively due to severe hearing loss. One patient had grommets inserted at the time of palatoplasty. Postoperatively, all 42 patients attended their follow-up audiology appointments (100%); 20 patients (48%) had improved hearing levels, 18 (43%) had similar hearing levels, and 4 (9%) had worse hearing levels. When stratified by cleft type (25 CPO, 9 BCLP, and 8 UCLP) no difference was noted. Four patients required hearing aids postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study confirms that primary cleft palate repair has a positive impact on audiology outcomes in patients with cleft. These findings suggest that primary cleft palate repair may improve hearing at an early stage, possibly by contributing proactively to restoring eustachian tube function and normalizing middle ear ventilation before glue ear and associated conductive hearing loss improve with patient maturity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10556656251318451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,4]],"date-time":"2025-02-04T01:21:01Z","timestamp":1738632061000},"page":"112-117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Does Hearing Improve Following Primary Cleft Palate Repair?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0293-7545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Theodoros","family":"Stylianou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5870-2932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing Qin","family":"Tay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erdinc","family":"Soylu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcel","family":"Geyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nefer","family":"Fallico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2016.06.054"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014107688808101209"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.63.2.176"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(87)80348-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2273.2002.00607.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00034894800890S311"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/10556656211067901"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2021.110820"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599813490141","article-title":"Clinical practice guideline: Tympanostomy tubes in children (update)","volume":"166","author":"Rosenfeld RM","year":"2022","unstructured":"Rosenfeld RM, Tunkel DE, Schwartz SR, Anne S, Bishop CE, Chelius DC, Hackell J, Hunter LL, Keppel KL, Kim AH, Kim TW, Levine JM, Maksimoski MT, Moore DJ, Preciado DA, Raol NP, Vaughan WK, Walker EA, Monjur TM.
