15. Mild 25 to 40 dB loss * Understands conversational speech at a distance of 3-5 feet (face to face) * May miss as much as 50% of class discussions if voices are faint or speaker is not in line of vision * May have slightly limited speech * Difficulty when tired or inattentive, in distant theater seats, in noise of general conversation Effects on Language and Speech:
