ChatGpt's answer, to my question about what is an audiogram:
"An audiogram is a chart or graph used by audiologists to record the results of a hearing test. It shows how well a person can hear different sounds, measured by:
Frequency (pitch): shown on the horizontal axis, measured in Hertz (Hz). Low pitches are on the left (125–500 Hz), mid-range in the middle, and high pitches on the right (2000–8000 Hz).
Intensity (loudness): shown on the vertical axis, measured in decibels (dB). Softer sounds are at the top (0–20 dB), and louder sounds are further down (up to 120 dB).
During the test, tones at various pitches and volumes are played through headphones, and the patient indicates when they can hear them. The results are plotted with symbols:
“O” for the right ear,
“X” for the left ear.
This helps identify:
Normal hearing (0–25 dB range),
Mild, moderate, severe, or profound hearing loss,
Whether the hearing loss is the same in both ears,
And the specific frequencies affected (e.g., trouble with high-pitched sounds).
👉 In short: an audiogram is like a “map” of your hearing ability across pitches and volumes... "
