3. 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 ...

4. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

   Hearing impairment is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a hearing loss with thresholds higher than 25db in one or both ears. The degree of hearing loss is classified as mild, moderate, severe or profound. [16] The results of pure-tone audiometry are however a very good indicator of hearing impairment.

5. Minimum audibility curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_audibility_curve

   Minimum audibility curve is a standardized graph of the threshold of hearing frequency for an average human, and is used as the reference level when measuring hearing loss with an audiometer as shown on an audiogram.

6. Audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiometry

   There are four defined degrees of hearing loss: mild, moderate, severe and profound. Hearing loss may be divided into four types: conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, central auditory processing disorders, and mixed types. Hearing loss may be unilateral or bilateral, of sudden onset or progressive, and temporary or permanent.

7. 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 ...
