AAO-HNS Meniere Hearing Stage
AAO-HNS hearing stage for Meniere's disease (Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium 1995): PTA = mean of the pure-tone thresholds at 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 Hz (dB HL), worst audiogram in the prior 6 months.

Example
- Threshold at 500 Hz
- 20 dB HL
- Threshold at 1000 Hz
- 30 dB HL
- Threshold at 2000 Hz
- 40 dB HL
- Threshold at 3000 Hz
- 50 dB HL
Result: Meniere hearing stage 2 — PTA 35 dB.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- PTA
- mean of pure-tone thresholds at 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 Hz (dB HL), worst audiogram in the prior 6 months.
- Stage
- 1 <= 25 dB, 2 = 26-40, 3 = 41-70, 4 > 70. Applies to definite Meniere disease.
What you enter
- Threshold at 500 Hz (dB HL)
- Threshold at 1000 Hz (dB HL)
- Threshold at 2000 Hz (dB HL)
- Threshold at 3000 Hz (dB HL)
