What is a BERA Test?
The BERA test measures the brain’s response to sound waves. During the procedure, small electrodes are placed on the scalp and earlobes to detect electrical activity generated by the auditory nerve and brainstem when sounds are played through earphones. It’s a non-invasive, safe, and painless test, often used to diagnose hearing problems in newborns, children, and even adults who cannot respond to standard hearing tests.
Why is the BERA Test Important?
Early detection of hearing loss is essential for effective treatment and communication development, especially in children. The BERA test helps identify:
- Congenital hearing loss in infants
- Delayed speech and language development
- Hearing nerve and brainstem disorders
- Unexplained hearing problems in adults
