And so the process begins When we're young and going to concerts that are way too loud yet I still sometimes listen at high volumes to my system at home just for the fun of it even though I know better...

Age-related hearing loss is by far the most common type of hearing loss, affecting about one-third of those aged 60-69, and two-thirds of those aged 70 and up. While these numbers are striking, it can be useful to remember that no two hearing losses are exactly alike, and that one person's hearing loss may be more easily treated than another's.

Korean Study Finds More High-Frequency Hearing Loss
High-frequency hearing loss (defined as hearing loss in the 2,000-8,000 Hz range), as we might expect, turns out to be even more common than broad-spectrum hearing loss. A study conducted in Korea found that the rates of high-frequency hearing loss for study participants over age 60 were typically much higher than rates for mid-range frequencies (though these were also high).

For those aged 60-69, hearing loss was present at 3,000 Hz at a rate of 42.7%, and at 6,000 Hz at a rate of 79.5%. For those 70 and older, hearing loss was present at 3,000 Hz at a rate of 70.7%, and at 6,000 Hz at a rate of 93.2%. It seems that as we age, we are all nearly guaranteed to experience high-frequency hearing loss.
