Consequently, perceptual distortions can occur (e.g. slow motion/ tunnel vision, disruption of hearing) As a part of this, the processing of auditory information can be stopped completely, causing temporary hearing loss. However, it is more common that the auditory cortex's functionality still remains but its efficiency is impaired.
The severity of a hearing loss is ranked according to ranges of nominal thresholds in which a sound must be so it can be detected by an individual. It is measured in decibels of hearing loss, or dB HL. The measurement of hearing loss in an individual is conducted over several frequencies, mostly 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz. The hearing ...
