What you sayThe tests show that Mary has a hearing loss. Our
best estimate is that the loss is around 85dB which puts her in the severe category. Things
could be much worse. There’s a good chance she will do well with hearing aids. If it turns out that
the hearing loss is more serious, you needn’t worry because she can always be fitted with cochlear implants and we have been seeing
amazing results with children. Some of them seem almost like they have normal hearing.
Would you like me to explain the audiogram?
