Your hearing explained
How hearing works — and how we read your audiogram.
An audiogram maps the softest sounds you can hear across pitch (low to high) and loudness. Most everyday speech sits inside the shaded “speech banana”. When parts of that area fall outside your hearing range, certain sounds become harder to follow — often the soft, high-pitched consonants such as s, f, th that carry clarity.
How hearing works
Sound travels into the outer ear and down the ear canal, where it vibrates the eardrum. Three tiny bones in the middle ear amplify those vibrations and pass them to the cochlea — a fluid-filled spiral in the inner ear. Inside, thousands of microscopic hair cells turn the vibrations into nerve signals, and the hearing nerve carries them to the brain, where they become the sounds you recognise.
Hearing loss can begin anywhere along this path — most commonly in the cochlea’s hair cells with age or noise exposure, which is why the soft, high-pitched sounds often fade first. That’s exactly what an audiogram helps us measure.
How we read your audiogram
Illustration only. Your audiologist plots your own results during a hearing assessment and explains what they mean for you.
- ↕Loudness (dB HL)How soft a sound can be before you stop hearing it. Lower on the chart means louder sound is needed.
- ↔Pitch (Hz)From low (250 Hz, a truck) to high (8 kHz, birdsong and the consonants that give speech its clarity).
- ◗The speech bananaThe area where everyday conversation lives. Hearing loss often affects the high-pitched edge first.
- !Everyday soundsLeaves, birdsong, a phone, traffic and aircraft sit at different pitch and loudness — a quick way to picture your hearing.
Normal-10 to 20 dB HL
Mild20 to 40 dB HL
Moderate40 to 70 dB HL
Severe70 to 90 dB HL
Profound90 dB HL or more
For any sudden hearing loss, this should be treated as urgent — contact your GP, an ENT service or an emergency department promptly. In a life-threatening emergency, call 000.
Ask before you spend
Why spend thousands before checking whether your recommended technology is current?
As a patient-centred practice, we don’t set out to beat a price — we set out to get the device right and keep caring for you afterwards. Ask whether the device is current-generation or superseded, and what ongoing costs apply.
