High Frequency Hearing Test

Hearing Test Frequency

A hearing test that determines the sharpness of your hearing and the frequencies you can hear can help to determine whether you have hearing loss. There are tiny cells in our inner ears that let us hear sound and interpret it for the brains to comprehend. When the cells get damaged or dies, we won’t be able to hear properly.

With the frequency hearing test, the exact amount of damage that has been caused to the cells can be determined and thus whether the hearing loss is in the high or low frequencies.

Factors Affecting Our Ability To Hear Certain Frequencies

  • Exposure to loud noises for a prolonged duration
  • Noise in work areas like the sound emitted from machinery
  • Working at construction sites
  • Exposure to the firing of military weaponry
  • Hearing loud music at parties or at home
  • Using headphones and ear plugs for a longer duration of time and at high volumes
