title: BERA in the diagnosis of deafness in children. A retrospective survey of its use in a district general hospital.
abstract: Brainstem Evoked Responses have been used in the Audiology Unit in Crosshouse Hospital since it opened in 1984, and have now come to form a vital asset in our assessment and diagnosis of the hearing threshold in children. This particular survey is a retrospective study of the BERA used in determining the hearing threshold in children. The survey has been limited to the BERA performed on children from January, 1985 until December, 1986.
