Very loud sounds can damage hearing by injuring the vibration-sensing hair cells on the basilar membrane. Suppose a person has i
njured hair cells on a segment of the basilar membrane close to the stapes. What type of sound is most likely to have produced this particular pattern of damage
This particular pattern of damage, will produce a type of sound classified as: A very loud, high-frequency sound
Explanation:
A very loud, high-frequency sound will be produced because The damage that occurs on the cells that are present in the basilar membrane that are close to the tape, represent those sounds of high frequency. For this reason, if these cells suffer any damage, the aforementioned sound will be produced.
