If the age of the participant is increased, then the frequencies they are capable of hearing will decrease because as people get older, their ear drums weaken and their hearing may be more damaged.

If the hz of the sound gets higher, than older people will more likely stop hearing the sound earlier than younger people. This is because older people could have had more damage to their ears because of loud sounds, while younger peoples ears are still younger which allows them hear higher frequencys.

If the age is changed (from a range of 10- 20 years old, to 40-50 years old, to 70-80 years old). The amount of hertz that the person can hear will go down significantly. This is as over the course of a lifetime; a person’s eardrums will deteriorate significantly. Some of the changes that attribute to this are: the degeneration of hair cells in the inner ear.

If you are older then your hearing gets worse because the muscle in your ear gets damaged over time.

If people are older the less they are able to hear high frequencies because their hearing got damaged over time.

If the age of the person increased, then the hearing of high frequencies decreases, because of the hearing damages that could be caused by different loud sounds over item.
