An audiogram is a visual representation of a person's hearing ability. It displays the results of a hearing test, showing the softest sounds a person can hear at different frequencies, measured in Hertz (Hz). The graph typically has frequency on the horizontal axis and hearing sensitivity in decibels (dB) on the vertical axis. Audiograms help audiologists assess hearing loss and determine the best treatment options. They can indicate various types of hearing loss, such as conductive or sensorineural. Understanding an audiogram is essential for effective communication and management of hearing health, often involving devices like hearing aids.
