BERA Test Fails
My 2 months 23 days son initially failed screening test (OAE) later we were advised for BERA in which his right ear showed absence of response however left ear showed slight response on increased thresholds. Some people are saying the hearing development in infants continues till 1.5 years of age. However our paediatrician is saying we should consult with a ENT to look for some intervention after baby is 6 months old. We are in two minds what to follow? Can anyone refer any good doctor for this issue? Please also suggest any treatment method which we can go through.

If BERA is not showing the waves, it's better to consult with ENT SURGEON. Consult "Dr Ameet Kishore" in Gurgaon. He is one of the best in the country in dealing with children with impaired hearing. If required,they may repeat the BERA to confirm and then let you know what options are available for the child.
