How to determine the degree of your hearing loss ZHONDE hearing aids

To determine the degree of hearing loss, we can refer to the following standards and methods, which are usually based on the results of hearing tests to measure the degree of hearing loss:

Criteria for grading hearing loss:

1. Normal hearing: the average hearing threshold is less than or equal to 25 decibels (dB).

2. Mild hearing loss: the average hearing threshold is between 26-40 decibels. At this stage, people may find it somewhat difficult to hear conversations in noisy environments, but in most cases, the loss does not seriously affect daily life.

3. Moderate hearing loss: the average hearing threshold is between 41-60 decibels. At this stage, people may need to raise their voices to have normal conversations or rely on lip reading to understand what others are saying.

4. Severe hearing loss: the average hearing threshold is between 61-80 decibels. People at this stage may need to use hearing aids or other assistive devices to compensate for their hearing.

5. Extremely severe hearing loss: the average hearing threshold is greater than 81 decibels. At this stage, people may not be able to hear sounds at all, and even with the use of hearing aids or other assistive devices, they may not be able to fully regain their hearing.

Hearing test method:

Pure-tone audiometry: Usually the hearing loss classification is mainly calculated based on the pure-tone audiometry results. The average frequency threshold value of 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, and 4000Hz needs to be calculated based on the pure-tone audiometry results.

Symptoms of hearing loss:

In addition to the results of the hearing test, you can also observe some symptoms of hearing loss, such as hearing loss, ear congestion, tinnitus, dizziness, balance disorder, etc. These symptoms may correlate with the degree of hearing loss, but are not always an accurate indicator.

Precautions:

The severity of hearing loss depends on the specific age group. For example, older adults may be more susceptible to hearing loss.

If you find that your hearing has declined, you should go to the hospital for a professional hearing test in time to determine the specific degree and cause of hearing loss.

Hearing loss can be caused by a variety of reasons, including age, noise exposure, genetic factors, ear infections, and more. Depending on the cause and degree of hearing loss, doctors can give corresponding treatment suggestions, such as wearing hearing aids, drug treatment, or surgical treatment.

In short, judging the degree of hearing loss requires comprehensive consideration based on the results of the hearing test and related symptoms. If you find that your hearing has decreased, please seek medical treatment promptly and follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and recovery.
