I was under the impression it was 35 to 40dbs which is

right about where you are talking about.

The classification for children is:

0-15 dB - Normal limits

15-25 dB - Slight

25-30 dB - Mild

30-50 dB - Moderate

50-70 dB - Severe

70+ - Profound

There are variations to this where the profound range will be 90+ dB.

So in your example, in the low frequencies (likely below 1000 Hz) hearing

loss would be in the 25-30 dB range, and then slope into the moderate range

of 30-50 dB in the higher frequencies.

Hope this helps
