Martin,
There is an error on your audiogram. Perhaps you can ask them about your
right ear pure tone average. They don't agree with your audiogram at all.
Your actual average is 100 dB in the right ear. The pure tone Fletcher
average is determined by adding the two best frequencies, of 500 Hz, 1KHz
and 2KHz and dividing by 2. In your case at 500 you are at 95 dB, at 1KHz
you are at 105 dB. That's a 100 dB average. The SRT cannot be 55 dB in your
right ear. I notice that they reference the SAT, Speech Awareness Threshold.
This is not an accurate representation of your hearing levels for speech. If
they could not determine an SRT, probably because you lack the ability in
that ear to distinguish spondee words, then that is significant. Have them
check this. As I read your audiogram, you are an excellent choice for a CI
in the right ear.
They may call me at my 800 number, if they wish.
