I was recently on a course and i was dont subtract the minus decibels
as this is not considered a deficit - i thought it was before i did
the course and was told this was wrong it should be counted as a zero
see attached good practice advice article http://www.thebsa.org.uk/
docs/RecPro/HAinGP.pdf and perhaps ask the British Society of
Audiology they will offer a clear answer
