The BERA (Brain Evoked Response Audiometry) test is a diagnostic test that is used to evaluate the hearing ability of an individual by measuring the brainstem’s electrical response to sound stimuli. This test is also known as Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) or Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP).
The BERA test is typically conducted on infants, young children, and individuals who cannot respond reliably to conventional hearing tests. It is also useful in diagnosing hearing loss, auditory nerve disorders, and other neurological conditions that affect hearing.
This test is performed for various different reasons such as:
It is usually recommended for children with problems such as:
Preparation: The individual undergoing the test is made to lie down in a sound proof room. Electrode are placed on the scalp and earlobes to measure the electrical activity of the brain and ear.
Stimuli Presentation: The audiologist presents a series of clicking sounds or tone bursts to the individual through headphones.
Brainstem response measurement: The electrodes on the scalp record the electrical activity of the brainstem in response to the sounds. The recorded response is then analyzed by a computer, which produces a waveform and measures the latency of each peak.
Interpretation: The audiologist interprets the waveform and the latency of each peak to determine the individual's hearing threshold and diagnose any hearing-related disorders.
For the BERA Test preparation, mentioned below are the instructions:
The technician will guide you if any special care is required for the test procedure.
The cost of the Brain Evoked Response Auditory (BERA) test in Delhi varies, depending on the diagnostic centres. ranges from INR 2500 to INR 6000.

The BERA test is a neurophysiological diagnostic procedure that is to evaluate the hearing level in children with suspected hearing loss problems. This test analyses the hearing and auditory threshold and diagnoses the conditions such as brainstem lesions.
BERA test takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the severity of the conditions to be analysed.
The BERA test is of three types:
The BERA (Brainstem evoked response audiometry) test is also known as auditory brain stem response or ABR audiometry or Brainstem auditory evoked response audiometry (BAER).
The cost of a BERA Test in every diagnostic center in Delhi is between INR 2500 to INR 5000. Every diagnostic centre charge a different amount for the brainstem evoked response audiometry based on several factors such as the location of the diagnostic center, the technology used for conducting the test, and the discount offered by the diagnostic center. At Ganesh Diagnostic Centre you can get your BERA test done at a 50% discount.
BERA Test is commonly done for newborn babies as a hearing screening test. It can also be performed on children of the age group of 1 year to 7 years with the problem of hearing loss or delayed speech to evaluate the hearing and auditory threshold.
The BERA Test has various advantages such as:
Yes, general preparation is required for the BERA test that is necessary to follow for an accurate result
Patient must lie still during the procedure. So, a mild sedative is given to the patient to sleep during the test procedure.
The BERA test is very reliable as it gives us information about the average hearing threshold level and helps in detecting the hearing status in newborn babies and small children. But it sometimes gives false positive or false negative results.
There are seven waves in the BERA test. Among the seven waves, the Wave I, III and V are more feasible compare to other waves.
Yes, BERA Test is a safe procedure. This painless procedure does not have any side effects and does not pose any risk of complications.
Early check ups are always better than delayed ones. Safety, precaution & care is depicted from the several health checkups. Here, we present simple & comprehensive health packages for any kind of testing to ensure the early prescribed treatment to safeguard your health.
