The healthy human ear can hear frequencies ranging from 20Hz to 20,000 Hz. Over time, the hair cellâs hair-like stereocilia may get damaged or broken. If enough of them are damaged, hearing loss results. The high frequency area of the cochlea is often damaged by loud sound.
The loudness of sound is measured in units called decibels (dB). A decibel unit expresses the relative intensity of sounds on a scale from zero for the average least perceptible sound to about 100 dB, which is near the level most people find uncomfortably loud. Normal speech is around 50 to 60 dB. The following chart demonstrates the sound scale in decibels. When an individual is over-exposed to excessive loudness, sensitive structures of the inner ear, such as hair cells, can be damaged, causing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), a particular type of hearing loss.
