Y-axis marked by db hl: represents the lowest normal hearing level (averaged across normal hearing listeners) for each frequency, normalizes the audibility curve db spl can be determined using ansi ( see table 5. 1) You present a 1000 hz tone at 50 db hl using supra-aural ear phones. How many db spl is that sound: use ansi standards db spl = db hl + ansi value db spl = 50 db + 7. 5 db spl = 57. 5. Symbols for r and l ear line up with patient. Can only understand shouted or amplified speech (ie shouting)
