The greatest difference between pre- and post-op BC PTA4 values is 2.5 dB
hearing levels (HL) (ear B, F and K), which is within the retest variability of 5 dB.

The average
hearing level was defined as the mean air-conduction threshold at 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 Hz.
The major differences between BSSHL and USSHL lay in audiometric profiling, including hearing outcome,
hearing levels at study entry, and the endpoints.
Hearing level was sorted into normal hearing (<25 dBHL), mild deafness (>25 and <40 dBHL), moderate deafness (>40 and <60 dBHL), severe deafness (>61 and <80 dBHL), and profound deafness (>80 dBHL) [16].
They have the most appropriate and accurate equipment to give a precise read of an individual's current
hearing level. 6) Hearing aids are only sold by licensed hearing care professionals.
You won't see Smiles' name in the news, because federal employees' cases are confidential at the
hearing level. But the human affairs entanglements are no less challenging to adjudicate, Smiles says.
This study defined the presence of a high-frequency audiometric notch when any threshold at 3, 4, or 6 kHz exceeded the average threshold at 0.5 and 1 kHz by [greater than or equal to] 15 decibel (dB)
hearing level (HL) and the 8 kHz threshold was at least 5 dB HL lower (better) than the maximum threshold at 3, 4, or 6 kHz.
Rather than immediately filing suit in federal court, however, Goldstein's legal team opted initially to conduct discovery at the administrative
hearing level. Based on what they learned, they sent AHCA a demand letter, putting the agency on notice that it was in violation of the federal Medicaid Act.
(257) For purposes of measuring whether the attorney appeared, we relied on the EOIR attorney identification code entry at the
hearing level (eoirattorneyid field).
While all participants had pure tone thresholds of [less than or equal to]25 dB
hearing level (HL) at frequencies from 250 to 8,000 Hz and over 90 percent in each group had age-appropriate word recognition scores, 39 percent of the blast-exposed participants performed below normal on a measure of speech-in-noise (Quick-SIN) [21] compared with 3 percent of the control group.
