Measuring hearing loss
Hearing loss is usually measured in units known as dBHL - where dB stands for decibels and HL stands for hearing level. Our Hearing Assessment finds the softest sounds a person can hear across a range of frequencies.
| Loudness | Potential Problem |
|---|---|
| 0-19 decibels | Virtually normal hearing Little or no difficulty following speech |
| 20-40 decibels | Mild hearing loss Some difficulty following speech |
| 41-70 decibels | Moderate hearing loss Difficulty following speech without a hearing instrument |
