Bera Test
A BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the auditory nerve and brainstem pathways for hearing. It is commonly performed on infants, children, and individuals who cannot provide reliable responses during conventional hearing tests.
During a BERA test, electrodes are placed on the scalp to measure the electrical responses generated by the auditory system in response to sound stimuli. These responses are recorded and analyzed to assess the integrity and function of the auditory pathway.
BERA tests help identify hearing loss, determine the type and degree of impairment, and aid in the diagnosis of various auditory disorders, including nerve-related hearing loss and auditory processing disorders.
