In Children of Men, Julianne Moore’s character mentions something about hearing loss?
Rick asked:
Is it true that when you hear a ringing sound in your ear of a particular frequency, you can no longer hear that frequency again?

what did you say? sorry, bad joke…
no, that’s not true. ringing in the ears is often transient and goes away without resulting in permanent hearing loss. belfus

this is not true, not every sound u hear u lose sensitivity to it… but it is still true that u could lose perception of certain frequencies only, as in case of presbycusis: in old age u lose sensitivity to high frequencies while low pitched voice are much more better…. so u hear ur son or any male better than ur wife or any female inflammatory_exudate
