At Passa Multi-Specialty Institute, we offer Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA), a sophisticated test used to evaluate the auditory pathways from the ear to the brainstem. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing hearing and neurological conditions.
BERA helps identify hearing impairments that might not be detectable through standard hearing tests.
It assesses the function of the auditory pathways between the ear and the brainstem.
It can help identify neurological conditions affecting the auditory system.
BERA is an effective tool for screening newborns for hearing issues to ensure timely intervention.
The patient will be comfortably positioned. Electrodes are attached to the scalp and earlobes to record brain responses.
Sounds are played through earphones or speakers to the patient.
Electrodes measure the electrical activity in the brainstem in response to the sounds.
The recorded responses are analyzed to assess the auditory pathways.
BERA is non-invasive and generally comfortable.
The test lasts approximately 30-60 minutes.
