It is necessary to understand that the hearing loss spectrum refers to the range of hearing your child has from normal hearing to profound hearing loss.
- Two measurements of Sound:
- Decibels (dB): Loudness
- Hertz (Hz): Pitch or frequency
A brief scale of Hearing loss (further explanation will be offered by your audiologist)
- Normal Hearing – 15Hz or less of hearing loss
- Slight Hearing loss – 15-25Hz
- Mild – 25-45 Hz
- Moderate – 45-55Hz
- Moderate – Severe – 55-75 Hz
- Severe – 75 Hz+
