What is Mild Hearing Loss?


Mild hearing loss is defined as a loss between 26 to 45 decibels measured on a professional hearing assessment tool called an audiogram. For many, this is the beginning of what becomes a downward spiral. An audiogram is a graph that indicates a person’s audible threshold for certain sound frequencies. Someone at the beginning stages of age-related hearing loss might experience mumbled conversations at least part of the time. It will seem like the ear canal is plugged, so the sound is dampened.

Why Mild Hearing Loss Matters?

The mild hearing loss does affect your life. When talking to someone, the hard sounds are soft or disappear entirely. A boss telling you there is an office meeting at five o’clock sounds like:

There i an oice meeing at ive o’oo

Since words seem mumbled, you might start saying â€œwhatâ€ a lot when talking to others, too. That eventually wears on the nerves of your friends and family. This slight decline in the hearing will interfere with your personal enjoyment, also. You start missing words the characters on your favorite TV show say making it easy to lose track of what going on in the story.
