Methodology for interpretation Fowler

For calculation of the hearing loss, in accordance with the law, added the table values corresponding to each frequency hearing loss, and the final value of the sum shall correspond to the hearing loss.

When it comes to bilateral loss using the formula proposed by the "Council on Physical Therapy" of the American Medical Association, which is based on the fact that there is, as a rule, a 7/8 of the good ear for the malfunction. The formula is as follows:

• Bilateral loss = ((% loss of hearing better * 7) +% worse ear loss)/8

The opinions will be suggested according to the settings below.

For a single ear:

4%-Loss in minimum degree

8%-Loss in average degree

For both ears:

9%-Loss in minimum degree

18%-Loss in average degree
