| 0-20 dB | Normal Hearing | Can hear most soft sounds clearly. |
| 21-40 dB | Mild Hearing Loss | Trouble hearing soft sounds or distant speech. |
| 41-55 dB | Moderate Hearing Loss | Difficulty hearing conversational speech. |
| 56-70 dB | Moderately Severe Hearing Loss | Cannot hear normal conversation without aids. |
| 71-90 dB | Severe Hearing Loss | Hears only loud sounds (e.g., shouting) |
| 91+ dB | Profound Hearing Loss | Hears very little; often relies on visual/tactile cues. |
