2018-05-02 03:19:13
A Little boy 1.5 year old have hearing problem. He cannot listen anything for about 3 months, also not able to listen loud sound. Then we met with an ENT specialist and discuss the matter and he suggested for BERA test. But BERA test shows that child have no hearing problem and doctor also told that child have no abnormalities and able to listen after some time. What should I do now ,I am very tensionalise about that matter please suggest something.

I think you should repeat the test somewer else. If still it's normal, then please visit a developmental pediatrician to rule out other causes.

Take a second opinion from an audiologist to get confirmation about hearing problem. Also, consult a pediatrician and SLP for ruling out any developmental disorders.

If bera test was done satisfactorily and suggested no abnormalities then you can be assured that the hearing is normal.. However if you still are tensed about it do take a second opinion.
Next Steps
In case the issue is only that the child is not responding when called or is fixed in doing what he is doing and is not interacting with other children or parents please visit a pediatrician to rule out any developmental disorders
