Cats have one of the broadest ranges of hearing among mammals. [11] Humans and cats have a similar range of hearing on the low end of the scale, but cats can hear much higher-pitched sounds, up to 64 kHz , which is 1.6 octaves above the range of a human, and 1 octave above the range of a dog.
Studies that measured recovery time have noted that the time required is related to the magnitude of the initial hearing loss. [12] The most significant recovery was found to occur during the first 15 minutes following cessation of the noise exposure. [13] [14] When sufficient recovery time is not allotted, the effects become permanent ...
Deafness can occur in white cats with yellow, green or blue irises, although it is mostly likely in white cats with blue irises. [4] In white cats with one blue eye and one eye of a different color (odd-eyed cats), deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side.

Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids are amplification devices that consumers who suffer from mild to moderate hearing loss can buy directly without a prescription, says Melissa Schnitzspahn, AuD ...
Some forms of nonsyndromic deafness involve changes in both the inner ear and the middle ear; this combination is called mixed hearing loss. The severity of hearing loss varies and can change over time. It can affect one ear (unilateral) or both ears (bilateral). Degrees of hearing loss range from mild (difficulty understanding soft speech) to ...
In 2022, I moved to a new city. As a photographer, I had spent years capturing the beauty of red squirrels, but this new chapter brought unexpected inspiration. My new neighborhood was alive with ...
At least 8.5 per 1000 children younger than age 18 have sensorineural hearing loss. General hearing loss is proportionally related to age. At least 314 per 1000 people older than age 65 have hearing loss. Several risk factors for sensorineural hearing loss have been studied over the past decade.
