Resound omnia 461 DRW RIE

Hearing loss is measured in decibels, and every device is built for a band of it. The scale below shows the part of that band this one covers.

• mild: Conversation is fine in a quiet room, but hard in a crowd or from across it.

• moderate: The television goes up, and you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves.

• severe: Even face-to-face talk is hard to follow, and the phone is difficult.

• profound: Even raised voices do not come through — this needs the most powerful devices.
