What does classification of hearing mean?
In order to properly assess your hearing, a classificationis done based on the results of a a Pure Tone Test. This identifies your hearing loss by Level (how loud a sound must be before you can hear it), and Pattern, which identifies your hearing ability at different frequencies. Classification of hearing by Level tells the decibel range a person can hear within but not necessarily how well they can hear. The classification level essentially explains how loud a sound must be in order for you to hear it. Pattern of hearing can tell with a high degree of accuracy where in the frequency range the problem is located if one exists, but other tests may be helpful in pinpointing the problem more precisely. The pattern will identify the specific frequencies with which you have problems. Typically, most people with hearing loss will have a loss of hearing in the higher frequencies, but still have normal hearing within the low and medium level frequencies.
