Detecting Level of Hearing Loss?
Have you been feeling
that it is getting harder and harder to hear those around you when they
speak? Does it, at times, sound muffled?
On average, the most quiet sounds heard by people with their better ear
are between 40 and 70 dB. People who suffer from moderate hearing loss have
difficulty keeping up with conversations when not using a hearing aid.
If you are suffering from
hearing loss it is best to have a hearing health care professional explain
the results of the audiogram to you, giving you the best possible understanding
of your particular problem.
The audiogram illustrates
your hearing ability by showing your hearing threshold at various frequencies.
Hearing threshold is an indication of how soft a sound may get before it is
inaudible. A hearing threshold of between 0 and 25 dB is considered normal.
