For AVENites with hearing loss

[R_1]

This is a poll specifically for those with some to all hearing loss. As I am one, I would like to know other cases here.

I have about 70 dB hearing loss that seems to be mixed, both conductive and sensorineural (is that the right word?). Basically, I hear middle frequencies the best, I don't hear the lowest and the highest.

I don't actually know the severity of mine for sure — I've been hard of hearing since birth and nobody has ever bothered to tell me — but I know that I have "cookie bite" hearing loss which is severe enough to affect my ability to communicate and warrant hearing aids, without being so severe that I can't communicate verbally at all without them, so my guess is that it's moderate?

It's weird to see that most here are of U slope/cookie-bite variant. I saw where I lie within my test result, and it shows severe hearing loss. Nothing that hearing aid can't help.

I have mild hearing loss but I don’t know what shape to classify it as. It looks a bit like reclining patio furniture? Flat, slightly up, dowwwwn, flat, UP. 
 

 

edit: cookie bite low frequency loss!

I have high frequency hearing loss in my left ear. It ended up leaving me with severe tinnitus but I'm used to it now, I just ignore it.
