title: [Acoustically evoked brain stem potentials in infants with velum clefts].
abstract: Brainstem acoustic evoked responses were recorded from 37 infants with cleft palate. Only 35% presented normal auditory thresholds. 27% had a bilateral 22% a unilateral hearing deficit of more than 30 dB. Controls after operative closure of the cleft showed no improvement of the conductive hearing loss.
