The doctor is dictating (he is a terrible mumbler) a letter to an attorney about a hearing test for a patient. 


"Testing performed on Dec. 13 the ?4 frequency average ???? 2000, 3000 cycles in the right ear....."


I don't know what he is saying before 2000, it kind of sounds like the word "found" and then something else that is more mumbling.  Also, do I type the number 4 or should I type the word four? 


I appreciate any replies.
