OAE Hearing Test failed
Hi Doctors, OAE Hearing test failed for my baby twice . He is 57 days old. We took the latest test yesterday and it got failed again. PFA reports. We met pediatric ENT and he advised to take BERA at 3 months. I can confirm that he startles to loud sounds ( example while someone coughs, or when we use a mosquito bat and kill mosquitos) , but not certain if he is able to hear us. Are there any chances for BERA to come normal having said that he is startling well to noise. We are deeply stressed and worried as a parent.

Please get BERA done. It can be done at 2months also. Early detection and intervention is the best bet here. Being stressed will not help you in any way. Be assured there is a cure for most hearing problems now, if indeed the baby has any issue at all.
