Ep. 94 Do you know how to read an audiogram?

Jan 26, 2022

An audiogram is a graph of information of someone's hearing abilities.

When you see the graph, on the y-axis (left-hand side), you'll see your hearing levels in decibels. On the x-axis (right side) you'll see the frequencies in hertz.

When you get to a hearing aid dispensers office and take your hearing test you'll see a blue and red line. The red line represents your red line and the blue line represents your left ear.

In terms of the hearing levels:
0-20 is considered normal hearing
20-40 you have a mild hearing loss
40-70 you have a moderate hearing loss
70-90 is severe hearing loss
90 and above is considered a profound hearing loss.

Chis will also go over a sample of a few examples if hearing exams so you can get a better understanding.
