The Cochlear™ BIA300 system was launched in 2010 and used at The Birmingham Children's Hospital from 2011.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical outcomes of the Cochlear™ BIA300 in the pediatric population.
Study Design: Historical cohort study.
Setting: Two tertiary referral centers.
Objectives: To assess the anatomic and functional outcome of underlay cartilage myringoplasty in children with cleft palate, at different postoperative periods compared with a patients-matched control group
Study Design: Case control study, tertiary referral center.
Methods: An otologic database was used to select children with cleft palate and perforated tympanic membrane who underwent myringoplasty between 1995 and 2012. These subjects were matched with control patients, without cleft palate, using the following criteria: age, size of perforation, status of contralateral ear, and status of middle ear mucosa.
