Description:
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 diagram it is coloured blue.
Information and ideas:
An attempt at comparing diagrams 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 diagram, for example).
Relevant for teaching:
Hearing defects/hearing impairment
How hearing functions
Sound/acoustics
