Study Summary
The investigators know that middle-ear disease is very common in infants with cleft palate and causes hearing loss that can last into childhood. It is thought that a poor ability to keep the pressure in the middle ear at a similar level to that in the environment causes middle-ear disease and that this depends on the opening function of a natural tube that connects the back of the nose with the middle ear, called the Eustachian tube. The investigators believe that the middle-ear disease in cleft palate infants and children is caused by poor Eustachian tube function that in turn is caused by anatomical problems in the muscles that open the tube. The investigators plan to test these relationships by studying the changes between 5-24 months and 6 years in middle-ear health, the way the Eustachian tube works and Eustachian tube anatomy in cleft palate children.
