Hi all, I am just wondering, I have noticed in the past few years, that alot of people measure their hearing losses in "percents". Do your audiologists tell you your loss in percents?
I myself had always referred to it as a "percent" loss until I realized one day that it was actually in dbl...(decible loss).
Then I got to noticing that it actually does not say "percent" on my audiogram, I think I just didnt realize it any other way.
My own loss is 105 dbl in one ear, 98 dbl in the other. But to explain it to a hearing person, they seem to understand the greatness of the loss if you say it in percents.
What do you think?
