Does a loud noise that is beyond my range of hearing still do damage to my ears?
High-pitched noises, particularly in the frequency range of 3,000 to 6,000 Hz and above, can cause sensorineural hearing deficits when presented at very high volume levels. The primary factor contributing to hearing damage is the loudness of the sound rather than its pitch. This information underscores the importance of monitoring sound levels, even for frequencies that may be inaudible to some individuals.
