Reduced dynamic range Too loud Too soft Too loud Too loud Intense Intense Moderate (b) (c) Moderate Weak Weak Too soft Too soft Intense Moderate Weak (a) Norm Sam Figure 1.2 The relationship between the dynamic range of sounds in the environment and the dynamic range of hearing for: (a) normal hearing, (b) sensorineural hearing loss without amplification, and (c) sensorineural hearing loss with a constant amount of amplification for all input levels.
