VRA (Visual Reinforcement Audiometry)

Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) is a hearing assessment technique used primarily for infants and very young children, usually between 6 months to 2 years of age. This test measures how a child responds to sound by using visual stimuli such as lights or animated toys as rewards. When the child hears a sound and turns toward it, they are reinforced with a visual reward, encouraging consistent responses.

VRA is a safe, non-invasive, and highly effective method for early hearing detection. It plays a crucial role in identifying hearing loss at an early stage, which is essential for proper speech and language development. Our audiologists ensure a child-friendly environment to keep the baby comfortable and engaged throughout the test. The results help in determining hearing ability and planning further management if needed.
