You will probably hear blood pulsating, your heart beating, and perhaps your joints creaking. You will not hear wind or quiet traffic. Persons with normal hearing are able to utilize both air and bone conduction and can interpret what they hear. Now, let us discuss degrees of loss. There are degrees of loss ranging from mild to profound.
Hearing is measured in decibels, which is the degree of loudness required to hear the sound.
Normal hearing falls within a range of 0dB to 26dB. A person with normal hearing is able to hear and understand all speech sounds and environmental sounds. A mild hearing loss is between 27dB and 40dB. A person with a mild loss experiences difficulty hearing faint speech and understanding speech at a normal loudness if there is noise in the background, ie. A moderate loss falls between 4ldB to 55dB. This person experiences difficulty in the same areas that someone with a mild loss experiences. It is at this point that some use of lipreading becomes helpful. A moderately severe loss is between 56dB and 70dB. A person with this degree of loss will be asking for things to be repeated.
