What is an audiogram?

An audiogram is a graph showing your hearing ability across different frequencies (pitch) and levels of hearing loss. The horizontal axis represents frequency in Hertz (Hz) – from low (250 Hz) to high (8000 Hz) – while the vertical axis shows hearing loss in decibels (dB).

  • 0–20 dB: Normal hearing
  • Mild (20–39 dB): Difficulty following speech, especially in noisy environments
  • Moderate (40–69 dB): Difficulty with speech and quieter sounds
  • Severe (70–89 dB): Trouble understanding speech even in quiet; everyday sounds like traffic are hard to hear
  • Profound (90 dB+): Most sounds are very difficult to hear unless very loud

Our audiologists can help interpret your audiogram and advise on next steps. 

How long does a hearing test take?

Most hearing tests take around 20–30 minutes, whether in-clinic or online.
