BERA - Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response

Also Known As:

BERA Test

BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response)

AEP (Auditory Evoked Potential)

Brainstem Audiometry

Newborn BERA Scan

BERA is a test that evaluates the auditory nerve and brainstem response to sound. It is widely used for newborn hearing screening and detecting neurological hearing disorders. The procedure is painless and highly accurate, helping in early diagnosis and treatment planning for hearing impairments.

Includes 4 Test Parameters

Technique

Recording of electrical potentials from the auditory nerve and brainstem in response to click or tone-burst stimuli.

Purpose

To objectively evaluate hearing sensitivity and the integrity of the auditory pathway.

Area Covered

From the cochlea through the eighth cranial nerve to the brainstem.

Key Clinical Point

The preferred method for hearing screening in newborns and for detecting acoustic neuromas in adults.

Includes Test 5 Parameters

It checks how the auditory nerve and brainstem react to sound, bypassing the need for a patient’s verbal response.

Yes, because it is an objective test that cannot be "faked," it is often used for disability claims.

Small sticky sensors are placed on the forehead and behind the ears.

It can detect abnormalities along the auditory nerve (like acoustic neuroma) that may require further MRI imaging.

Not at all. Most babies sleep through the entire procedure while wearing small earphones.
