Study proposes reference data for very high-frequency hearing

Among adults with normal standard-range hearing, average very high-frequency thresholds ranged from −12.5 to 97.5 decibels of hearing level.Among adults with normal standard-range hearing, average very high-frequency thresholds ranged from −12.5 to 97.5 decibels of hearing level.
