Is it possible to have a cleft palate and no hearing loss?
assistant
Yes, it is possible. A cleft palate is a common birth defect that occurs when the roof of the mouth does not close properly during embryonic development. This can cause food to leak into the nasal cavity, which can lead to hearing loss. However, there are many other causes for hearing loss in children, so it's important to consult with your doctor to determine if you have any underlying issues.
