Levels of Deafness
There are four levels of deafness (possibly 5 in some countries), they are:
Mild deafness or mild hearing impairment - the patient can only detect sounds from
between 25 to 29 decibels (dB). They may find it hard to understand everything other people
are saying, especially if there is a lot of background noise.
Moderate deafness or moderate hearing impairment - the patient can only detect sounds
from between 40dB and 69dB. Following a conversation just from hearing is very difficult
without using a hearing aid.
Severe deafness - the person only hears sounds above 70db to 89dB. A severely deaf person
must either lip-read or use sign language in order to communicate, even if they have a
hearing aid.
Profound deafness - anybody who cannot hear a sound below 90dB is profoundly deaf;
some profoundly deaf people cannot hear anything at all, at any level of decibels.
Communication is done with sign language and/or lip-reading.
