 have conductive-type hearing loss due to otitis media in the  first
years of life. Due to not presenting required interventions can affect language
development negatively. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the hearing and
determine the type of hearing loss and to evaluate the linguistic skills of
children with palate and lips without hearing loss. </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Materıals and Methods </span> </b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">: The study was conducted in
ENT, Audiology and Speech Disorders department at Gazi University  between
April 2014 and June 2017. 30 patient  aging range from 2 to 20,  with
cleft lip±palate were included in the study. First, hearing assessments were
performed and  hearing loss type were identified  if persons have
hearing loss, type of hearing loss were identified. Then, language assessments
were made on 2-7 year old children who have no hearing loss. </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Results </span> </b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">: Among persons who have hearing loss (%30), it was observed that,
 88% of cases have conductive type and  12% of cases
have.sensorineural hearing loss. </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;color:rgb(33,33,33);">Receptive and expressive language assesment
were conducted to 11 cases between the ages of 2 to 7. It was observed that </span> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">3
(%27) participant had receptive language delay and 7 (%63) had delays in
expressive language skills. </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoHeader"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Conclusion </span> </b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">: Regular otological and audiologic
follow-up is important for children with cleft lip±palate. The high rate of
language impairment in children with Cleft palate ± lip without hearing loss
emphasizes that there is need to assess language development of these children.
The study reveals, there is  need for these children to be monitored by a
multidisciplinary team. </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={3}, publisher={Hacettepe Üniversitesi}
