2023-01-31 11:05:40
My 3-month-old baby failed the initial OAE test for one ear. We have done the test two times one after birth and another after 2 months.Dr suggested for the BERA test. Recently we have done that and it suggested sevear hearing loss for both ears.not sure what should be the next course of action. Should I need to consult an ENT for my baby? Any good ENT suggestions in Kolkata/ Delhi.
