Regarding speech and hearing
My son is 15 months old. He is not speaking any words. He blabbing sometimes. His hearing is good and understands us.
We visited an ent and he suggested to get OAE and BERA test. My son completely failed in OAE. But he understands and reponds sound from All direction. We never felt any problem with his hearing. He even responds to external sound outside the door. He is having continuous cold for 2 months. Doctor didn't give enough time to explain only.
