Hearing loss in child
My niece is not responding to any sounds recently. Earlier she was very alert when she hear any noise. Then we consult ENT specialist, he refers for BERA test. The report according to doctor she has 80% hearing loss. What to do next? Is machine will be helpful? Or any surgical procedure there for getting back hearing power?
