The hearing develops even before the birth, so the OAE test that is done at birth are used to rule out any sensorineural hearing loss. There are many factors that can give the test test fail so if a test comes fail, we have to redo the test at two months and six months, the best would be BERA test. Get your child’s ear tested with an ENT surgeon to rule out any local causes that can cause hearing loss.
The audiologist would be able to do behavior audiometry, testing, probably from the age of six and above.
