Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is when your ability to hear is reduced. A hearing loss makes it more difficult for you to hear speech and other sounds. Our ears can normally hear between 20 to 20,000 Hertz. Thus, when you have trouble hearing frequency over 25 dB (decibel), then it is often termed as deafness or hearing impairment.
