If BERA test is positive then it means that his hearing pathway till brain is normal. Usually it can be combined with oto acoustic emission test to make it more useful. You may need to wait for few more months before you go for any further evaluation
Next Steps
Consult nearby Paediatrician ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
