Comrades!

I need your opinion, or experience.

Today, I checked the hearing on the smartphone using the application "frequency generator"
(link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.boedec.hoel.frequencygenerator).

Checked in the headphones, and when the frequency was set to 14200 Hz, the sound for some reason itself increased sharply almost to the maximum and the frequency squeaked very loudly.

I quickly yanked out the headphones.

Tell me, can this be dangerous and damage the hair cells in this range?

Thank you
 
Really?!

14 kHz is in fact such an inconsistent frequency, and in ordinary life we hardly hear it.

I worry.

Depends how old/young you are. High frequency hearing loss can start (slowly) from birth. Also depends on what SPL (sound pressure level) was delivered through the headphones

Worrying increases anxiety which increases tinnitus.

Stop worrying
 
I'm still very worried about this.
No one had similar incidents?
I have to complain about the ads in this app.
