BERA (BSER OR BAEP) has proved to be a useful tool in diagnosing hearing impairments in children which could be conductive or sensorineural in nature. Thanks to early detection, rehabilitative procedures could be started early which will help speech and language development.
We have studied 150 cases below five years of age, and our observations are recorded with case history profiles like high risks, referral for adaptions, congenital malformations and delayed speech. We feel BERA is the only tool which can present an accurate picture of hearing sensitivity.
