Are There Any Side Effects On Performing BERA Test On 10 Day Old Baby?
Dear Dr., My daughter is 10 days old and our pediatrician suggested to do the BERA test as her intial screening for hearing failed. Is it ok to do the test at this stage and is there any side effects from this exam being performed on an infant? Many thanks in advance.

Hi....BERA test is completely safe even at 10 days of age. It is not associated with any complications. Please go ahead with the test as recommended by your pediatrician.
