₹3000
Book an appointment at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, a highly specialized and NABL & NABH-accredited diagnostic centre for brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) testing. Using a sophisticated listening pathway neurodiagnostic system, we precisely analyze the electrical messages generated by stimulation with sound from the inner ear to the brainstem, and evaluate the hearing pathway. Our skilled neurologists and audiology experts carry out the test with accuracy and send an accurate report to help identify hearing disorders, auditory nerve issues, and neurological disorders that can affect hearing.
About BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) Test
Also known as Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER), a BERA Test is a non-invasive, neurophysiological test that is used to measure the electrical response that occurs in the auditory nerve and brainstem to sound input.
The test evaluates hearing function in people who are unable to respond in conventional hearing tests, such as newborns, infants, young children, and unconscious patients. Advanced BERA equipment at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy allows for a precise evaluation of the functioning of the auditory pathway in order to plan treatment in the early phases of auditory pre-analysis.
What is a BERA Test?
The BERA Test is a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic test that creates an electrical signal that is recorded moving from the inner ear to the hearer's brainstem via the auditory nerve. Earphones play a series of clicking noises during the exam, and small electrodes put on the person's head pick up what the brain is doing in response. The test is frequently ordered to diagnose hearing loss, evaluate any disease of the auditory nerves, check function of the brainstem, and also for newborn hearing screening.
Common Reasons for a BERA Test
- Newborn hearing screening
- Suspected hearing loss
- Delayed speech and language development
- Persistent tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Vertigo or balance disorders
- Evaluation of auditory nerve disorders
- Assessment of brainstem function
- Monitoring neurological conditions affecting hearing
- Hearing evaluation in uncooperative or unconscious patients
Conditions Evaluated
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Helps identify hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve.
Auditory Neuropathy
Evaluates abnormalities in the transmission of sound signals from the ear to the brain.
Acoustic Neuroma
Supports the detection of tumours affecting the auditory nerve.
Brainstem Disorders
Assesses neurological conditions involving the auditory pathways within the brainstem.
Newborn Hearing Disorders
Provides early identification of congenital hearing impairment in infants.
Multiple Sclerosis and Neurological Disorders
Helps detect delayed nerve conduction associated with demyelinating diseases affecting auditory pathways.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Your doctor may recommend a BERA Test if you:
- Have suspected hearing loss
- Experience tinnitus or persistent ringing in the ears
- Have delayed speech development in children
- Require newborn hearing screening
- Have dizziness or balance problems
- Need evaluation of auditory nerve or brainstem disorders
- Require objective hearing assessment before treatment

Test Information: No fasting is required. Wash your hair before the test and avoid using hair oil, gel, or styling products. Infants may be tested during natural sleep or mild sedation if advised by the doctor.
Test information: Fasting NOT needed.
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
- No fasting or special dietary preparation is required for the BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) Test.
- Wash your hair thoroughly before the examination and avoid applying hair oil, gel, spray, conditioner, or other hair styling products, as these may interfere with electrode placement.
- Ensure your ears are clean and inform your doctor if you have ear pain, ear discharge, ear infection, excessive ear wax, or recent ear surgery.
- Inform your doctor or audiology technician about any hearing aids, cochlear implants, neurological disorders, or medications you are currently taking.
- Carry previous BERA, Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), Audiometry, OAE (Otoacoustic Emissions), MRI, CT scan, ENT reports, or other relevant medical records, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
- Infants and young children may be tested during natural sleep. If sedation is required, follow your doctor's instructions regarding feeding and preparation.
- During the examination, remain relaxed, quiet, and as still as possible to minimize interference with the recordings.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and preparation.
