The speech banana on an audiogramAn audiogram grid running from 125 hertz to 8 kilohertz across the top and 0 to 120 decibels down the side. A banana-shaped band sweeps across the middle of the chart, between roughly 12 and 55 decibels, marking where the sounds of everyday speech sit: m, ee, a, l, sh, s and th.
