There are two parameters regarding hearing ranges. One is frequency range, and the range of hearing is measured in Hertz, which is cycles per second. Another variable is the threshold of hearing. In other words, how loud does a sound at a given frequency have to be to be heard. That sound level is measured in decibels with respect to a reference level. The threshold level will vary with the pitch (frequency) of the sound, as you might have guessed.

Do Gender Differences Occur in Frequency Range of Hearing?

Yes, gender differences can occur in the frequency range of hearing. Studies have shown that women tend to have better hearing in the higher frequency ranges compared to men, while men tend to have better hearing in the lower frequency ranges. These differences may be due to biological factors and differences in the structure of the auditory system.

What is a standard threshold in hearing?

A standard threshold in hearing refers to the faintest sound that a person can detect at least 50% of the time across a range of frequencies. It is typically measured in decibels (dB) during a hearing test.
