Sample 1:
Sensorineural High Frequency Hearing Loss (Typical in older Adults)
• Both ears have same thresholds for bone conduction. When air and bone conductions thresholds are within 15 dB of each other – Sensorineural hearing loss
• Normal hearing thresholds bilaterally through 2,000 Hz
• Dropping to a moderate loss at 4,000 Hz
• Rising to a mild loss at 8,000 Hz
Sample 2:
Conductive Hearing Loss
Note: the air conduction thresholds are between 30 dB and 50 dB, and the bone conduction thresholds are between 0 dB and 10 dB. This shows a conductive hearing loss.
