What a person hear if they have high frequency hearing loss?

With high-frequency hearing loss, a person may have difficulty hearing:

Consonants like "f," "s," "sh," "th," and "ch" that provide clarity to words. This can make understanding speech challenging, particularly in noisy situations.

High-pitched sounds like music, children's voices, and alarms.

When background noise is added to high-frequency hearing loss, understanding conversations becomes a difficult task.

High-pitched noises, like birdsongs, may also be muffled or completely inaudible.
