Cleft palates cause alterations in palate and lip structures, and it may also cause hearing loss because of recurrent otitis media. The appropriate treatment is controversial. It may include the prescription of antibiotics and insertion of a ventilation tube, or even otorhinolaryngological and audiological assistance, and hearing rehabilitation, with the use of an individual sound amplifier aid (ISAA).
To characterize the profile of individuals with cleft palate and hearing loss, users of ISAA are assisted by the center of otorhinolaryngology and speech therapy of a hospital specialized in craniofacial anomalies and hearing impairment. Retrospective Study.
Retrospective analysis of 131 charts of patients with corrected cleft palate and hearing loss, fitted with ISAA by the center abovementioned.
The sample (n=131) was characterized by a prevalence of females (53%), unilateral incisive transforaminal cleft (27%), presence of associated anomalies (51%), history of alterations of the middle ear (56%) and surgery intervention (56%).
The general profile of the individuals with cleft palate and hearing loss, fitted with ISAA, was characterized by the predominance of cleft lip and palate, positive history of middle ear alterations, surgery intervention and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
腭裂会导致腭和唇结构的改变,也可能因反复发作的中耳炎而导致听力损失。适当的治疗方法存在争议。它可能包括抗生素处方和插入通风管,甚至耳鼻喉科和听力援助,以及使用个体声音放大器辅助器(ISAA)进行听力康复。
描述腭裂伴听力损失患者的特征,由专门从事颅面畸形和听力障碍的耳鼻喉科和言语治疗中心为 ISAA 用户提供帮助。回顾性研究。
对上述中心为腭裂伴听力损失并配有 ISAA 的 131 名患者的图表进行回顾性分析。
该样本(n=131)的特征是女性患病率较高(53%)、单侧切牙穿通性裂(27%)、存在相关畸形(51%)、中耳改变史(56%)和手术干预(56%)。
配备 ISAA 的腭裂伴听力损失患者的一般特征为唇腭裂为主,中耳改变史阳性、手术干预和双侧感音神经性听力损失。
