German term or phrase: Schrägabfall
Kontext:
Arztbericht

"Tonaudiometrisch zeigte sich ein Schrägabfall beidseits mit einer hochgradigen, an Taubheit grenzenden Schwerhörigkeit rechts und einer gering- bis mittelgradigen Schwerhörigkeit links."

Soweit ich sah, kann man mit "sloping" arbeiten, aber da bereitet mir der "Abfall" Probleme.

Vielen Dank,

English translation:moderately sloping (hearing) loss
Explanation:
"moderately sloping" loss, as contrasted with flat or steeply sloping ("ski slope") loss.
It refers to the shape of the curve plotted by the audiogram, where the slope is downwards and gradual (schräg) as opposed to steep and abrupt (Steilabfall). The DE term seems a bit tautologous, but I suspect this is Germanic precision - indicating the direction of the slope..!
There are numerous real-English Google hits for "moderately sloping loss", see also Swiss research article which has figures with bilingual text.
