<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe degrees of hearing loss are broken down into seven levels: normal, mild, moderate, moderately severe, severe and profound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sounds are measured in decibels (dB). Those with normal hearing can detect sounds between 0-25 dB. Mild hearing loss occurs when you have trouble hearing sounds quieter than 25 dB. This may include conversations had at a whisper, dripping water, rustling leaves and birds chirping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mild hearing loss can affect your ability to hear both low- and high-frequency sounds, though most people with mild hearing loss have trouble with sounds that are high frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mild Hearing Loss and Communication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You and your audiologist will work together to determine which hearing aid will work best for your unique listening needs, budgetary constrictions and aesthetic preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best treatment is prevention. While you may not be able to do anything to avoid getting older, you can protect your ears from exposure to loud sounds by wearing earplugs. You can purchase inexpensive disposable earplugs from your local pharmacy or opt for a custom-made pair from an audiologist to provide a better fit and more protection.
