The frequency of a sound, also known as its pitch, is measured in Hertz (Hz), while its loudness is expressed in decibels (dB).

An audiogram is a chart that shows the softest sounds an individual can hear across a range of frequencies and loudness levels.

If bone-conduction test results are better than air-conduction test results, it indicates the hearing loss is due to a problem in the outer or middle ear.
