  2. aASHA definition of the degree of hearing loss (Clark 1981): The hearing loss degree was classified as normal (< -10 15 dB HL), slight (> 15 25 dB HL), mild (> 25 40 dB HL), moderate (> 40 55 dB HL), moderate severe (> 55 70 dB HL), severe (> 70 90 dB HL), or profound (> 90 dB HL) hearing loss
  3. bConductive component in case of an air‐bone gap of ≥ 15 dB
