A member asked:
Is an 80- percent hearing loss severe?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes, and treatable: Yes, 80% hearing loss is quite severe. Hearing loss greater than 20-30 decibels (db) is abnormal. When soft speech may be as quiet as 60db, losses greater than 50 db can be quite disabling. Fortunately, modern hearing aids are very effective at rehabilitation.
