1. BERA Test (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry)

Purpose: Evaluates the hearing pathway from the ear to the brainstem.
-
Use: Commonly performed for newborn hearing screening, children with speech delay, or patients who cannot cooperate with routine hearing tests.
-
Benefit: Helps in early detection of hearing loss and neurological disorders.
2. OAE Test (Otoacoustic Emissions)
-
Purpose: Measures sound waves generated in the inner ear (cochlea).
-
Use: Ideal for newborn hearing screening and early diagnosis of hearing impairment.
-
Benefit: Quick, painless, and reliable test for cochlear (inner ear) function.
3. ASSR Test (Auditory Steady-State Response)
-
Purpose: Determines frequency-specific hearing thresholds using brain responses to sound.
-
Use: Suitable for infants, children, and uncooperative patients.
-
Benefit: Provides detailed information about hearing levels, useful for hearing aid fitting.
4. ECOG Test (Electrocochleography)
-
Purpose: Measures electrical potentials generated in the inner ear (cochlea) and auditory nerve.
-
Use: Helps diagnose Ménière’s disease, endolymphatic hydrops, and other inner ear disorders.
-
Benefit: Essential for patients with vertigo, tinnitus, or unexplained hearing loss.
5. VEMP Test (Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential)
-
Purpose: Evaluates balance function by measuring reflexes in neck or eye muscles after sound stimulation.
