How Much Hearing Loss is Acceptable for AudioNotch to Work?

AudioNotch provides Tailor-Made Notched Sound Therapy. One form of this therapy is Notched White Noise.

Notched White Noise has only been shown to work in individuals with less than 55 dB of hearing loss (the upper limit of moderate hearing loss). This does not  necessarily mean that it cannot work in individuals with greater than this level of hearing loss, but it does mean that we cannot claim, from the evidence that we have, that it will work in people with hearing loss exceeding this threshold.

We have had an anecdote from a user who had severe hearing loss in one ear who still benefited from Notched White Noise, but anecdotes alone do not provide a sufficient level of evidence for us to claim that there is good evidence that it will work. Broadly speaking, we would expect that people with severe hearing loss will generally not benefit very well from Tailor-Made Notched Sound Therapy

Best,
