What is the normal hearing level in decibels for children with hearing impairment?

Patient's question:

12-year-old child

Doctor's answer:

According to the World Health Organization's hearing loss classification standards, a 12-year-old's hearing level between 0 to 25 decibels (dB) is considered mild hearing loss, requiring sounds to reach 26 to 40 dB to be audible; 41 to 55 dB is moderate hearing loss; 56 to 70 dB is moderate-severe hearing loss; 71 to 90 dB is severe hearing loss; and above 91 dB is profound or total deafness.
Hearing impairment in children has a significant impact on patients, and it is recommended that they seek timely medical treatment at a specialized hospital under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be appropriately engaged in, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
