Degrees of Hearing Loss

I was born profoundly deaf.... Without hearing aids, I can hear the sounds as loud as a gun.... and with amplifed hearing aid, I can hear most sounds, but not the high frequecies (or soft sounds)...

Hearing Loss Levels:
-10dB to 25dB = Normal range
26dB to 40 dB = Mild hearing loss
41 dB to 55 dB = Moderate hearing loss
56 dB to 70 dB = Moderately Severe hearing loss
71 dB to 90 dB = Severe hearing loss
over 90 dB = Profound hearing loss. <--- My hearing loss range... next to total deafness.
