Abstract
Hearing sensitivity for frequencies 250 through 20 000 Hz was compared between children with repaired cleft palate and a history of otitis media, and children without cleft palate or middle ear disease. All subjects were clear of middle ear effusion during the evaluation. Although children in the cleft palate group had consistently poorer hearing throughout the auditory range, statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences in hearing levels above 9 000 Hz only. No statistical difference was observed for the standard clinical audiometric frequencies. Extra-high-frequency hearing loss appears to be associated with cleft palate and its sequelae. Nous avons comparé la sensibilité auditive sur une gamme de fréquences de 250 à 20 000 Hz d'enfants opérés pour une fissure palatine et sujets à otites moyennes à celle d'enfants ne présentant aucune de ces caractéristiques. Aucun de ces enfants ne souffrait d'épanchement. Bien que les enfants du premier groupe aient présenté une sensibilité auditive moindre d'un bout à l'autre du champ auditif, les analyses statistiques n'indiquent pas de différences significatives d'acuité auditive entre les deux groupes aux fréquences égales ou inférieures à 9 000 Hz. Aux très hautes fréquences cependant, des différences statistiquement significatives de 17 à 33 dB ont été mises en évidence.Keywords
