Brainstem-evoked response audiometry (BERA) is a simple, noninvasive, objective test for early identification of hearing impairment in children and neonates.
It can be used as a screening test and is useful in newborns, infants, and other difficult-to-test patients.
Electrodes will be placed on the patient's head and behind the ear during the BERA test procedure. When the examination is done, the patient will be heard various sounds through headphones. This examination measures changes in brain electrical activity (EEG) .
