Query on BERA
My baby is 2 months old and failed OAE test in 23 days. Pediatric ENT checked the ear using otoscope and confirmed no debris not no fluid. He couldn't detect anything suspicious through otoscope and advised to take oae test in couple of weeks. I did a oae test again at 56 days and it came as refer again. PFA reports. Consulted with him again and he advised us to take BERA at 3 months old. We are deeply depressed currently. Any possibility of BERA coming normal in this scenario. If so ,what is that condition why such abnormality in OAE report. Note : my baby was born at 38 weeks and 2.48kg . He had respiratory distress and was admitted in NICU and got discharged in 2 days.

As there is no response found in OAE test
So you can just wait for a couple of months and go for the BERA test. Whatever may be the pathology it will be detected through BERA.

don't get disheartened there is treatment for every condition. You just need to have patience and have faith.
