What is the meaning of high-frequency hearing loss?

Patient's question:

The physical examination said my left ear has high-frequency hearing loss.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, sound is divided into high-frequency and low-frequency sounds. Vibrations with higher frequencies are called high-frequency sounds, similar to a soprano singing high-frequency sounds, while a bass singer produces low-frequency sounds. These two types of sounds are different. Inside the ear, there is a sensory receptor called the cochlea, which perceives different types of sounds in different areas—one at the base of the cochlea and one at the top. If you have discovered that your left ear's high-frequency hearing has declined, it is definitely that the part of the left cochlea responsible for sensing high-frequency sounds is affected. Have you been wearing headphones to listen to music frequently recently? This can cause significant damage to your ears.
