As most of you know, I havent always been deaf. I lost it gradually over the years and the first hearing test that showed "profoundly" deaf, i was 17. I recently had a vocational/career assesment test, and the woman had my audiogram on file. I myself did not have this. It was the one from when I was 17. However, I do have tinnitus, which i think, plays a factor is how my test went.
The test said 90db (R) and 95db (L) but I didnt know what that really meant. So I looked on the internet and found this little thing that told me what it might mean. I got it from here
-
Degree (based on pure tone average)
normal range 0 -25 dB
mild loss 26-40 dB
moderate 41-55 dB
moderate severe 56-70 dB
severe 71-90 dB
profound 91 dB or greater

My question to you is, what is your db loss? Im curious. Its weird I'm considered severe/profound, as I listen to music on my CD player on a 6 or so, (depends on the CD) out of 10.
(PS, i didnt know where else to post this, so I chose here.)
