The above audiogram represents the
hearing of an individual with normal hearing in the low frequencies (pitch)
sloping to a severe high frequency hearing loss in the left ear and a
moderate to severe hearing loss in the right ear.
The blue Xs indicate the thresholds for the left ear and the red Os indicate
the thresholds for the right ear |
The softest sound you are able to
hear at each pitch is recorded on the audiogram. The softest sound you are
able to hear is called your threshold. Thresholds of 0-25 dB are considered
normal (for adults). The audiogram above demonstrates the different degrees
of hearing loss |
