That's unfortunate - understanding db is very important (and not all that complicated).
Also - many people don't have a basic idea of what and how Db is calculated and thus don't realize that how the increments work in db (ie that the volume difference between 20db & 21db is totally different than between 80db &81 db)
I really dislike when professionals decide it's "too complicated" - hearing loss is a permanent thing that will impact their life... Professionals need to take the time to educate their clients not only in vague "mild, mod, severe etc" but in what the proper measurement of their hearing is.
Even grade school kids can understand how db works - just like they understand how degrees (for temp), weight, length etc work.
If your clients are having trouble understanding db - it's because of who you explain it, not because it's "complicated", "hard" or "technical".
