Hyphen - mild-to-moderate hearing loss

Which way should moderate to severe by typed in this context? 1. moderate to severe trabeculation 2. moderate-to-severe trabeculation I was just dinged by QA (would prefer not to say which one yet), and really need to know.

Anyone out there have any hearing loss? I have developed significant hearing loss. My ENT has encouraged me to keep transcribing, with the use of a boosted headset and I am trying. Telephone use is very difficult and almost non-existent. Boosters do not help. Also diagnosed recently with RA and having difficulty with my fingers, but not letting it get me down.

Some "re" words seem to be pretty well used, such as "readmission" not "re-admission" or "replaced" not "re-placed" but how do you tell when to add the hyphen?

why at the end of every shift do I still bother to calculate my line totals - transcription & VR - when 9 out of 10 times I am only discouraged???
