Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) is an objective hearing test that measures how the auditory nerve and brainstem respond to sound. It is especially useful for newborns, infants, young children, and individuals who cannot respond to conventional hearing tests.

Who should undergo a BERA test?

BERA testing is recommended for newborn hearing screening, infants with suspected hearing loss, children with delayed speech, adults with unexplained hearing loss, tinnitus, or suspected auditory nerve disorders.

Is the BERA test painful?

No. BERA is a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic test. Small electrodes are placed on the scalp and ears to record responses to sound stimuli.

How long does a BERA test take?

A BERA test usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the patient's age and whether natural sleep or mild sedation is required.

Where can I book a BERA test in Pune?

You can book a Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) test at Simple Hearing & Speech Care in Wakad, Pune, where experienced audiologists provide comprehensive hearing evaluations.

Rather than tones, you will hear spoken words, and you are to repeat them back. This is useful for assessing understanding of speech in daily conversation.

Advanced BERA Testing for Accurate Hearing Diagnosis

Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) is a safe and non-invasive hearing test that measures the brain's response to sound. It is ideal for newborns, children, and adults who cannot undergo conventional hearing tests, helping diagnose hearing disorders with accuracy and support timely treatment.

Normal Hearing (0-25 dB)

The waveforms appear within normal limits and indicate an intact audiological pathway with healthy hearing sensitivity.

Mild Hearing Loss (26-40 dB)

Slight delays may be seen in responses or their amplitudes may be reduced. Their patients will frequently complain about, for example, sounding muffled in loud environments and would miss some, particularly soft, sounds being developed in children.

Moderate Hearing Loss (41-55 dB)

B.E.R.A shows significantly delayed waveforms. Speech clarity, language learning, and everyday communication may be impacted by this degree.

Moderate-Severe Hearing Loss (56-70 dB)

Waveforms tend to disappear or become weaker at lower intensities. Patients will miss most conversation sounds and require hearing assistance aids.

Severe Hearing Loss (71-90 dB)

Only clear responses are recorded at higher sound intensities from B.E.R.A. Normal communications are very difficult to maintain without powerful hearing aids.

Profound Hearing Loss (<90 dB)

Maximum intensity may not elicit any response from B.E.R.A or show minimal responses. Cochlear implants or advanced hearing devices usually can be recommended as forms of effective rehabilitation.
