OAE and BERA tests are done at birth to check whether a baby can hear properly. Hearing is very important for a child to learn speech and language. Some babies may be born with hearing loss, but it is difficult to notice it early just by observing them. These tests are simple, safe, and painless, and they help doctors detect hearing problems soon after birth. If hearing loss is found early, treatment such as hearing aids or other support can be started in time, helping the child develop normal speech and communication skills.

Don’t worry she is too small and if you have doubt then consult near Ent doctor because without examination we can’t tell you that there is no issues or you can contact online through Practo
