How to reference this medium
The speech range is that range of frequency and loudness where speech communication usually takes place. Within the audiometric audibility limit it is the kidney-shaped range. In our chart it is coloured blue. When, for example, hair cells are damaged in the inner ear and no longer work, the audiometric audibility limit changes. The speech range is affected.
Information and ideas:
An attempt at comparing charts showing normal hearing and reduced hearing can be done by students individually – as homework. It is useful for testing written expression (English) as well as for testing basic skills from Mathematics or Physics (how to interpret a chart, for example).
Relevant for teaching:
Hearing defects/hearing impairment
How hearing functions
Sound/acoustics
