BERA Test
BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) – Hearing Nerve Function Test

The BERA Test is a specialized neurological test that measures how your brain and auditory nerves respond to sound. At Sai Speech & Hearing Clinic, this test helps detect hearing issues caused by nerve or brainstem problems, ensuring accurate diagnosis even in newborns or individuals unable to give verbal responses.

It’s often used to confirm hearing thresholds and to identify retrocochlear pathologies (issues beyond the inner ear).
