Audiology seeking volunteers for Cortical Evoked Response Audiometry

June 7, 2018

Our audiology department are setting up a new test called Cortical Evoked Response Audiometry (CERA) at City Hospital which they’re seeking between 10-20 volunteers of any age.

The test utilises an existing piece of kit (NavPro) that can measure brainwave activity in response to sound. The CERA test is used on adults that are unable to complete a routine hearing test or who are feigning a hearing loss for whatever reason.

The volunteer will have four electrodes placed on their head and small insert style earphones placed in the ear. They will then be asked to sit and read quietly whilst the test is completed. The test will take up to 1 hour to complete.

Deadline for volunteering is Friday 31 August.
