A client is a member of a rock band and complains that the noise from the concerts has caused a hearing loss that makes it is difficult to hear friends talking. Hearing loss as a result from recreational noise:
1. Is probably not the cause of this hearing loss.
2. Is probably the cause of this hearing loss.
3. Is temporary.
4. Is rare.
Is probably not the cause of this hearing loss
Rationale: Recreational noise can cause bilateral sensorineural hearing loss at higher frequencies (3,000 to 6,000 Hz). Normal speech is 512 to 1,024 Hz. Therefore, the noise from the concerts would not cause a hearing loss that would interfere with hearing conversation. Hearing loss from recreational noise is not temporary or rare.
