I’m very sorry to say you don’t understand the testing. Is this the fault of whomever is performing the test? I’m not sure. To hear and UNDERSTAND within a NORMAL range, you need to BARELY BEGIN to hear the BEEPS with no more than 20 dB needed. If that’s the case, you will easily hear and UNDERSTAND a voice at the usual dB of about 40-45 dB. Does that make sense? If you BARELY hear each of the frequencies of speech by at least 20dB, you will hear and understand a spoken voice. The test in no way indicates YOUR PERSONAL experience in the REAL WORLD. It is a REPEATABLE, VERAFIABLE test. It’s a jumping off point. It’s a starting point. Because we don’t know where you could hear when you were a baby and learned speech, we don’t know for sure where you need to be able to hear and understand. We can approximate it from this test though. Because we don’t know the REAL WORLD situations or VOICES you need to hear, we can approximate. This test with “beeps” you are talking about is just ONE of a complete evaluation that should include at LEAST 7 different tests. Some of those are performed with each ear (monaural) and some also with both ears (binaural). I won’t post separate comments to each post that addresses these issues. I just really want to help you to understand the purpose of the test you seem to reference. I sure hope this helps!
