On This Page. Viral meningitis is the most common type of meningitis, an inflammation of the tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord. It is often less severe than bacterial meningitis, and most people get better on their own (without treatment).
Sound level calibration is a prerequisite to properly measuring hearing loss. Our hearing test is the only online hearing test we know of that offers you a way to calibrate your headphones or speakers, giving you the opportunity to reliably estimate your hearing loss. Use our test with confidence to confirm normal hearing, or a mild, moderate, or severe hearing loss. This test-like any other hearing test-requires a decent pair of headphones (good speakers will work too, although headphones are preferred), and a quiet environment.
How to Read Your Hearing Test. Hearing is graphed on an audiogram, a graph of the softest sounds you can hear. The graph is laid out like a piano keyboard, with low to high frequencies (low to high pitches) going from left to right, ... and the graph is laid out from soft sounds on the top to loud sounds on the bottom.ormal hearing ranges from 0 to 20 dB in all frequencies. From here on, the assumption is that you have a sensorineural hearing loss (that you have nerve damage to the inner ear). Nerve damage, unless sudden, is permanent. For conductive hearing losses, see your otolaryngologist (your ENT physician).
