Hearing - Levels of impairment
According to www.Cochlear.com , we have the following:
Hearing loss is measured in decibels hearing level (or dBHL). This number represents the softest level you or your child can hear. Hearing level can be measured for pure tone sounds, as well as for speech sounds, and can be reported for both ears (bilateral) or for each ear individually (unilateral).
The amount of hearing loss someone has is ranked as mild, moderate, severe, or profound.
-

Mild hearing loss

Severe hearing loss
Hearing loss in your better ear between 70 - 89 dBHL. Require powerful hearing aids or an implant. -
