Audiologist Questions Hearing loss

What's the normal hearing range for a child?

My daughter has difficulty hearing soft sounds, and this led to her failing her hearing test at her routine appointment. We're being referred to an audiologist to see why. What range of hearing should she have?

General hearing loss should not start setting in until middle-age or later. Children should have full-range of hearing. However, if your daughter is having trouble hearing at a young age, then she might have some level of hearing impairment.
