No, the hearing threshold is not constant for all individuals. It can vary based on factors such as age, genetics, and environmental influences. Additionally, hearing thresholds can differ across frequencies, with some individuals being more sensitive to certain sounds than others. As a result, normal hearing ranges can show significant individual variability.

What is the range of the threshold of human hearing and the threshold of pain?

It varies from person to person. However - an accepted 'normal' hearing range is around 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The same goes for pain threshold - anything over 120 dB would certainly be uncomfortable for most people.


What is the hearing threshold of humans?

At the threshold of hearing the sound intensity is 10-12 watts per square meter equivalent to 0 dB. Our eardrums are moved by sound pressure variations and so are microphone diaphragms. Forget the intensity! At the threshold of hearing the sound pressure is 2x10-5 pascals or 2x10-5 newtons per square meters, equal to 0 dBSPL.


What are sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing?

Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.

What is meant by surpassing the renal threshold?

Type your answer here... It is nothing but surpassing the renal threshold of an individual above the threshold which was normal to that person in certain period.


What is the normal range of hearing for a elephant?

Elephants have very good hearing and sense of smell, but poor eye-sight. Their normal hearing range depends on the volume of sound.

What is the difference between dB SL and dB HL?

The "SL" in dB SL stands for "Sensation Level". The "HL" in dB HL stands for "Hearing Level". The difference between them is that dB SL is based on the hearing ability of an individual test subject, and dB HL is based on the hearing ability of an entire population of test subjects. 0 dB SL is the minimum level at which the test subject can hear a stimulus, usually a tone pip. The actual level will vary with frequency. If we refer to a level of, say, 40 dB SL, we mean a sound that is 40 decibels above a test subject's threshold of hearing. The dB HL scale is the mean dB SL of a large population (theoretically the world-population) of *normal hearing* people. They measured frequency-specific thresholds for alot of people, and averaged them to give the dB HL scale. Finally, dB nHL stands for "normalised hearing level". This is the same concept as dB HL, except the number of test subjects contributing to the average is smaller. It is standard practice for a Hearing Clinic to establish their own dB nHL scale based on all the normal-hearing test subjects they have had access to. This allows a clinic to ensure that the scale they use is correctly calibrated to their test equipment.


How can hearing be tested?

Hearing can be tested by a tests called audiometric tests, in which the patient is subjected to sounds of varying frequency and intensity and the amount of intensity that has to be raised above the normal level for that particular frequency is plotted on a chart.By this test, the threshold of hearing by air and bone conduction can be known and also type and degree of hearing loss can be assessed. There are various other clinical tests for hearing like finger friction test, watch test, voice test (these are obsolete now) and tuning fork tests- Weber's and Rinne's test.
