You get a little graph of your sample points with some explanations.
Mine:

I didn't screenshot it, but if you click the left or right average
buttons you get to see it highlight that only the 500Hz/1kHz/2kHz/4kHz
data points are considered when creating the average score for loss. The
other data points are used in an freq-dependent volume boosting setup if
it thinks that'd be useful.

I'm not sure what the baseline zero that the db are compared to is, no.
