Is it possible to further damage ones hearing with the audiogram test?
For the audiogram in order to know the hearing levels the tones must be played loud enough to be heard. If one has lets say already 60db loss at specific frequency louder tones must be played to find that loss level.
How low frequency testing differs from high frequency testing? (4000hz or 8000hz vs 12000hz or 16000hz) Don't we need more volume to be able to hear high frequency tones (those above 12000-14000) or it should be the same volume no matter what is the frequency?
@Dr. Nagler - please feel free to comment if you have any knowledge about this
