40DB vs 20DB - Too Much Loud Rock Music

Dustin must be listening to too much hard rock music : )

We finally got a "decent" hearing test today and mixed results. They were hoping he could test well at 20 decibels (db) which is normal conversation level. However, he did not respond to this level but did at 40 db. This is of course an improvement over the initial test where we started (pre tubes) with 70 db.

So our next step is an appointment at Duke University where a more sophisticated test can be administered - this test is called sedated ABR and this test will be done next week.

We are praying for good results from this test.
