audiogram
An audiogram is a visual representation of an individual'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, measured in decibels (dB), on the vertical axis.
Audiograms help audiologists assess hearing loss and determine the best treatment options. They can indicate whether a person has normal hearing, mild, moderate, severe, or profound hearing loss. This information is crucial for developing personalized hearing care plans and improving communication.
