Do you know\nyour type and degree of hearing loss? The answer is most likely no. But that\u2019s\nokay, because your audiologist sure does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is a breakdown of why your degree of hearing loss<\/a> matters and how this information influences your audiologist\u2019s treatment recommendation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sound is measured\nin both volume and pitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volume,\nalso known as loudness, is the measure of how much energy or intensity a\nsoundwave produces. Measured in decibels (dB), the human ear can hear sounds as\nlow as 10 dB and up to around 130 dB before becoming painful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding how loud sounds are is important, as anything over 85 dB can cause permanent damage to the delicate hair cells within your inner ear. Below is a list put together by the CDC showing the average decibel measurement of everyday sounds<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pitch\nmeasures the frequency of a soundwave, or how many times the wave vibrates per\nsecond. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). During a hearing exam, your audiologist\nwill test a range of 250 Hz to 8000 Hz, as that encompasses the most important\nrange for communication, speech frequencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn\nmore about your type and degree of hearing loss or to schedule an appointment\nwith your audiologist, contact Aaron\u2019s Hearing Aid & Audiology Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you know your type and degree of hearing loss?
