As we age, our hearing spectrum narrows, affecting our ability to hear high frequencies. The inner ear's hair cells responsible for picking up different frequencies degenerate with age, making it harder to hear high pitches.

How Old Are Your Ears? (Hearing Test)
Concepts covered:hearing spectrum, high frequencies, inner ear, hair cells, age-related hearing loss
As we age, our hearing spectrum narrows, affecting our ability to hear high frequencies. The inner ear's hair cells responsible for picking up different frequencies degenerate with age, making it harder to hear high pitches.
Question 1
Why do older people hear lower pitches better?
Question 2
What happens to hearing spectrum as we age?
Question 3
Why are hair cells tuned to high pitches damaged first?
Question 4
What effect does loud sound have on ear's hair cells?
Question 5
What do hair cells in the ear primarily do?
Question 6
Who is likely to hear all tested frequencies?
