Degrees of hearing loss
See the list below:
Normal hearing (0-25 dB): At this level, hearing is within normal limits.
Mild hearing loss (26-40 dB): Mild hearing loss may cause inattention, difficulty suppressing background noise, and increased listening efforts. Patients with this degree of loss may not hear soft speech. Children may be fatigued after listening for long periods.
Moderate hearing loss (41-55 dB): Moderate hearing loss may affect language development, syntax and articulation, interaction with peers, and self-esteem. Patients with this degree of loss have trouble hearing some conversational speech.
Moderate-severe hearing loss (56-70 dB): Moderate-severe hearing loss may cause difficulty with speech and decreased speech intelligibility. Patients with this degree of loss do not hear most conversational-level speech.
Severe hearing loss (71-90 dB): Severe hearing loss may affect voice quality.
Profound hearing loss (>90 dB): With profound hearing loss (deafness), speech and language deteriorate.
See the list below:
