For flat or gently-sloping shaped hearing losses the Pure Tone Average often correlates with the Speech Reception Threshold. Sometimes the average includes other combinations of frequencies (i.e., a high frequency average may include 3000 Hz or 4000 Hz).  1, record 1, English, - pure%20tone%20coverage

In future reports audiometric assessment should be classified according to levels of residual hearing, with specific objective definitions for each level. Such categories might include mild, moderate, severe, and profound hearing loss, as determined by combinations of pure tone averages and speech recognition scores.  2, record 2, English, - pure%20tone%20average
