DA pure tone average (PTA) of 6 dB indicates a slight hearing loss, as normal hearing threshold levels are typically between -10 dB and 15 dB. A PTA of -8 dB is within the normal range. An equally elevated threshold for air and bone conduction suggests a sensorineural hearing loss, which requires further evaluation by an audiologist. Normal air and bone conduction thresholds indicate normal hearing.
