High-frequency sounds cause more hearing damage than low-frequency sounds
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 85/100
High-frequency sounds and noise exposure predominantly target the basal region of the cochlea, causing greater vulnerability and hearing damage at high frequencies.
