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

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

   Here's how to read an audiogram and a doctor's explanation of the most common results including sloping hearing loss, notched hearing loss, cookie-bite hearing loss and reverse-sloping hearing loss.

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. 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 ...

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. 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 ...

7. Hearing range - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range

   Hearing range describes the frequency range that can be heard by humans or other animals, though it can also refer to the range of levels. The human range is commonly given as 20 to 20,000 Hz, although there is considerable variation between individuals, especially at high frequencies, and a gradual loss of sensitivity to higher frequencies ...
