Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As people age, the first type of sound that they tend to have difficulty hearing are high-pitched sounds. This is because the hair cells in the ear that are responsible for detecting these types of sounds are located in the inner ear and can become damaged over time. Low-pitched sounds, on the other hand, tend to be detected by hair cells that are located in other areas of the ear and are less likely to be affected by age-related hearing loss.
