CERA (Cortical Evoked Response Audiometry) Testing

CERA testing provides an objective measure of hearing thresholds by recording auditory responses from the brain’s cortex. It is especially valuable in medico-legal and compensation cases where traditional hearing tests may be unreliable.

At Orchid medicals, our experienced audiologists use advanced CERA technology to deliver accurate, defensible results for assessing true hearing levels. Reports are prepared to meet legal and insurance standards, providing clear evidence for hearing loss claims and evaluations.
