Understanding Levels of Hearing Loss
Experiencing hearing loss can be a significant source of stress and concern. It is essential to gather as much information as possible and seek professional help, even for minor hearing issues. With the right diagnosis and treatment, many individuals can effectively manage their hearing loss using hearing aids.
Hearing loss and deafness encompass a wide range of difficulties, often leaving patients uncertain about their condition. This confusion can lead to the purchase of inappropriate hearing aids, especially without a professional assessment.
Hearing loss is generally categorized into four levels: Mild, Moderate, Severe, and Profound.
- Mild Hearing Loss: Individuals with mild hearing loss struggle to hear sounds between 20-39 decibels. This often results in challenges hearing the TV or radio at normal volumes and having conversations over distances. Background noise can worsen these difficulties.
- Moderate Hearing Loss: Those with moderate hearing loss have trouble hearing sounds between 40-69 decibels. Symptoms are more pronounced compared to mild hearing loss.
- Severe Hearing Loss: Patients experiencing severe hearing loss cannot hear sounds between 70-89 decibels. Communication typically requires the speaker to be close and speak loudly, without background noise interference.
- Profound Hearing Loss: Also known as deafness, profound hearing loss means individuals cannot hear sounds up to 90 decibels. This is the most severe level, making speech inaudible and often necessitating visual communication methods.
For anyone experiencing hearing difficulties, it’s advisable to consult a professional for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate treatment.
