2. How to Read An Audiogram (Hearing Test) - AOL

   www.aol.com/read-audiogram-hearing-test...

   Key Takeaways: An audiogram shows the softest sounds (volume: soft to loud) you hear at each frequency (low to high pitches). The lower the line on the graph, the worse your hearing is at that ...

3. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

   The shape of the audiogram resulting from pure-tone audiometry gives an indication of the type of hearing loss as well as possible causes. Conductive hearing loss due to disorders of the middle ear shows as a flat increase in thresholds across the frequency range. Sensorineural hearing loss will have a contoured shape depending on the cause.

4. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

   Given that hearing loss can vary by frequency and that audiograms are plotted with a logarithmic scale, the idea of a percentage of hearing loss is somewhat arbitrary, but where decibels of loss are converted via a legally recognized formula, it is possible to calculate a standardized "percentage of hearing loss", which is suitable for legal ...

5. Audiogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiogram

   Audiograms are unable to measure hidden hearing loss, [15] [16] which is the inability to distinguish between sounds in loud environments such as restaurants. Hidden hearing loss is caused by synaptopathy in the cochlea, [17] as opposed to sensorineural hearing loss caused by hair cell dysfunction. Audiograms are designed to "estimate the ...

6. Hearing Aid Technology Levels: Premium Vs. Standard

   Premium hearing aids typically come with special features to increase listening comfort in background noise. For example, Starkey's top-end Genesis AI 24 offers enhanced wind noise reduction and ...

7. Minimum audibility curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_audibility_curve

   This is not the best threshold found for all subjects, under ideal test conditions, which is represented by around 0 phon or the threshold of hearing on the equal-loudness contours, but is standardised in an ANSI standard to a level somewhat higher at 1 kHz . There are several definitions of the minimal audibility curve, defined in different ...
