  • How to read an Audiogram and How to Understand Your hearing test results...what do they mean?
    What is an Audiogram? An Audiogram is a graph that shows the persons hearing. It tells us the type and degree of hearing loss. The results of the hearing test are plotted on an audiogram. It has an X axis and a Y axis. Some important terms to know, to understand an audiogram: Frequency: The sound frequency or pitch (measured in Hertz) is plotted on the X (horizontal) axis. The frequencies commonly tested are 250Hz, 500Hz, 1 KHz, 2 KHz, 4 KHz, and 8 KHz. Intensity: The sound Intensity or loudness (measured in decibels) is plotted on the Y (vertical) axis. The intensities commonly plotted range from -10 or 0 to 120, in multiples of 10. The softest sound a person hears 50% of the times, at each frequency is his Hearing Threshold at that frequency. The Hearing Level (HL) is measured in Decibels.
    At each frequency the person's air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) are tested. 'O' is used to denote air conduction for the right ear. 'X' is used to denote air conduction for the left ear. It is important to note that 0 dB does not mean that there is no sound at all. It is the softest sound that a person with normal hearing would be able to hear at least 50% of the times. Everyone does not have a perfect 0 dB HL thresholds at all frequencies. There is a normal range.
    0dB to 20dB = Normal range
    21dB to 40 dB = Mild hearing loss
    41 dB to 55 dB = Moderate hearing loss
    56 dB to 70 dB = Moderately Severe hearing loss
    71 dB to 90 dB = Severe hearing loss
    greater than 90 dB = Profound hearing loss.

    Thanks for this, I had a sudden loss of hearing in my left ear about 4 months ago and have just had a hearing test. My left ear is in the range of sever and slightly dipping into profound deaf now but fortunately my right ear has adapted and improved and greater than the normal range with the exception of 4000hz where it just dips into mild deafness. MRI scan coming up to find the cause, specialist is thinking lack of blood flow to ear drum I think. This video was the most helpful I've seen.

    I have a 55 db mid frequency loss in both ears and was told the loss was "borderline severe" even though I don't really notice much of any functional impairment. Moderate loss makes a lot more sense. Thanks. My audiogram has three lines, Xs, Os, and Triangles. What does the line with the triangles mean?

    • @CenturyHearingAids
      @CenturyHearingAids  4 роки тому

      Hi Cole, X and O is the right and left ear. You can email your audiogram to support@centuryheraingaids.com for more information.
