## audiogram_nm.jpg The image is a detailed audiogram, which is used to measure hearing sensitivity across different frequencies of sound. The audiogram includes several sections with various types of data related to hearing assessment. ### Audiogram Layout: 1. **Frequency in Hertz (Hz):** This section at the top shows the range of sound frequencies from 125 Hz up to 8000 Hz, which are commonly used for assessing human hearing sensitivity. 2. **Hearing Level in Decibels:** The vertical axis on the left side indicates the hearing level in decibels (dB), ranging from -10 dB at the top down to 110 dB at the bottom. ### Audiogram Data: - **Speech Audiometry:** This section includes data for speech recognition thresholds. It shows results for "SRT" (speech reception threshold) and "Masking," which are used to determine the lowest intensity of a sound that can be heard in the presence of background noise. - The SRT values are given as percentages, indicating how well someone can understand speech at different frequencies. - For example: - At 20 Hz: 100% (indicating perfect understanding) - At 500 Hz: 100% (indicating perfect understanding) - At 4000 Hz: 55% (indicating some difficulty in understanding speech at this frequency) - **Tympanometry:** This section measures the pressure inside the ear canal and how it changes with different frequencies. It includes data for "Volume," "Compliance," and "Peak Pressure." - For example: - Right ear: Volume = 20, Compliance = 1.8, Peak Pressure = 5 - Left ear: Volume = 25, Compliance = 1.6, Peak Pressure = 4 - **Acoustic Reflex:** This section measures the reflex response of the middle ear muscles to sound stimuli. - It includes data for "Test Frequencies" (500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 4000 Hz) and "Probe R" and "Probe L," which refer to right and left ears respectively. ### Additional Information: - **Signature:** At the bottom of the audiogram is a signature that appears to be from an audiologist or hearing specialist. - **Date:** The date "8/14" is written at the bottom, indicating when this audiogram was completed. This audiogram provides comprehensive information about someone's hearing sensitivity across different frequencies and conditions. It helps healthcare professionals diagnose hearing loss and determine appropriate treatment options.
