PTA is Pure Tone audiometry with which an ENT specialist would evaluate if your child has a hearing problem. BAER is the test of nerve that carries hearing sensation to the brain. No recording on BAER means there is no signal generated from ear. Please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
