BERA (Hearing Test) Test for families from Anantapur
Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry - objective hearing assessment, including in newborns.
BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) measures how the brainstem responds to sounds played through small earphones. Because it does not need the child to actively respond, it is the gold standard for objective hearing assessment in infants, children with speech delay, and children who cannot reliably do a behavioural hearing test.

How results are used
Diagnostic results are interpreted in correlation with clinical history, developmental timeline, and symptoms. A diagnostic report by itself does not confirm a complete care plan.
Why specialist interpretation matters
Interpretation by a DM-trained Pediatric Neurologist ensures subtle anomalies are identified accurately, preventing misdiagnosis of non-epileptic mimics.
Where is the test available?
The equipment is located in our Kurnool clinic. We coordinate schedules for families from Anantapur to complete tests and receive reports on the same day.
