" I said I had a near deaf experience"

Having hearing, it is very easy to take it for granted.
We have our i-pods,sleek speaks and ear phones. Of course let us not forget that if we are employed in areas of work that involve high frequency sounds it is easy to slowly lose our hearing.
Lets not forget the people who have hearing impairments deserve our attention and respect too.

Adults: between 26 and 40 dB HL
Children: between 20 and 40 dB HL
Moderate: between 41 and 55 dB HL
Moderately severe: between 56 and 70 dB HL
