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.
