The Audiogram and Hearing Loss - What Does it Mean to Parents of Hearing Impaired Children?Based on feedback from some parents and also on their questions about their child’s hearing, I believe that to describe a child’s hearing sensitivity using the above types of terms alone in order to facilitate understanding is of little value, and in some cases virtually meaningless. This is particularly the case if the degree of hearing loss and the concept of hearing loss itself are contained in our first statements to parents when summarising test results. |

Audiograms explainedThe audiogram is a graph showing the thresholds in decibels for hearing test sounds of different frequency. On the audiogram, the test frequencies used during hearing testing are shown with the vertical lines. The decibel levels required for a child's hearing threshold are shown with the horizontal lines. |
