Do people with hearing loss have an increased threshold of pain?
The_Reporter asked:
I mean, i assume if they here less, they can withstand sounds at higher decibels. is this true?
decibels dictate loudness, and the louder you get the higher the pain is. The threshold of hearing is 70 decibels, meaning over 70 you start damaging your coheclear hairs. but there is also a decibel lever that causes pain. does that increase for people with hearing loss
