How To Read An Audiogram Conductive Sensorineural. A key on the audiogram, similar to one found on a map, identifies what the different symbols mean. An audiogram is a graph that shows the softest sounds a person can hear at different pitches or frequencies and displays the results of the hearing test.
In this case, your child may already have a sensorineural hearing loss and then develop a conductive loss due to excessive fluid or wax in the ears. In the right ear, this person has normal hearing in the lower pitches indicated by a red circle corresponding to 15 db at 250 hz and 20 db at 500 hz. The sound frequency or pitch (measured in hertz) is plotted on the x (horizontal) axis.
The lower the point on the axis, the louder the tone.
The softest sounds that a person can hear at a particular frequency is called their hearing threshold. Understanding the information shown on an audiogram is easy. In the right ear, this person has normal hearing in the lower pitches indicated by a red circle corresponding to 15 db at 250 hz and 20 db at 500 hz. Audiogram is a graph that shows the persons hearing.
