DID YOU KNOW | No.31: The human ear is frequency selective. Between 500 Hz and 6,000 Hz our ears are very sensitive compared with the lower and higher frequencies.
DID YOU KNOW | No.133: The sensory neurons responsible for hearing are called hair cells. They are found inside your cochlea in the inner ear. If enough of these cells are damaged or destroyed by the aging process, excessive noise exposure, ototoxic substances, or lack of adequate blood supply, the result is hearing loss. Unfortunately, most hearing loss is irreversible because those hair cells do not grow back.
