Health Query

My 2 years severely premature son (born 600 grams) diagnosed with sever high frequency hearing loss. From his BERA peak observed at 80 amd 90 decible in low frequencies. Please suggest what is the best treatment for him to improve his hearing and as well which is good for his speech development.

2 Doctors Answered
Dear sir, Apart from BERA, please consider performing BOA/VRA testing also. This will help in better diagnosis of hearing loss. With this type of hearing loss, your initial treatment will include use of hearing aids and speech therapy. Thank you.

Hi, Lybrate user, get it done ASSR before going for Hearing aid fitting, cause it gives frequency specific information compare to BERA. Thanks.
