Jonah was a musician in his early twenties and is now in his mid-forties. He did not wear earplugs when he performed and is now interested in getting his hearing tested. The audiologist finds that at 2000 Hz, his left ear shows air conduction loss at 75 db and his right ear is at 25 db. Bone conduction for both ears is around 15 db. What type and severity of hearing loss does Jonah have? A) Jonah has a mild conductive hearing loss in his right ear and a severe conductive hearing loss in his le...
