DB Loss in Hearing with Age Frequency Ages 20-29 (96 ears) Ages 30-39 (162 ears) Ages 40-49 (84 ears) Ages 50-59 (28 ears) It is not generally recognized that natural sound which we hear always emanates from its proper source, whereas in artificial reproduction we usually hear sounds which do not emanate from their original source. That is, in a motion picture reproduction, all sound originates from a fixed source — the speaker system. This sound includes both the sound which seems to originate from all portions of the screen, as well as sound that has its apparent source off the screen. As a consequence of this unnatural source of sound, the many factors affecting the relative loudness of the various reproduced sounds must be carefully controlled.
