WNL

What is the WNL?

WNL stands for “within normal limits.” In audiology, this term is used to describe hearing that is within the normal range. A normal audiology report will show that all of the hearing test results are WNL.

What is a normal audiology report?

A normal audiology report will show that the person’s hearing thresholds are within the normal range for their age and gender. The normal range for hearing thresholds varies depending on the frequency of the sound. For example, the normal threshold for a 500-Hz sound is 20 decibels (dB) HL. This means that a person with normal hearing should be able to hear a 500-Hz sound at 20 dB HL or louder.

What is the normal range for hearing test?

The normal range for hearing tests varies depending on the type of test. For example, the normal range for pure-tone audiometry is 0-20 dB HL for frequencies between 500 Hz and 4,000 Hz. This means that a person with normal hearing should be able to hear pure tones at 0-20 dB HL at these frequencies.

What is a normal pure tone average?

The pure tone average (PTA) is a measure of a person’s overall hearing ability. It is calculated by averaging the hearing thresholds at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz. The normal PTA for adults is 25 dB HL or less.

Conclusion

WNL is a term used in audiology to describe hearing that is within the normal range. A normal audiology report will show that all of the hearing test results are WNL. The normal range for hearing tests varies depending on the type of test and the person’s age and gender.
