What is a hearing range for children?

The typical hearing range for children is similar to that of adults, spanning from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). However, children often have a more acute ability to hear higher frequencies, especially in the range of 2,000 to 8,000 Hz, which is crucial for speech recognition. As children grow, their auditory sensitivity may change, but maintaining regular hearing checks is important to ensure they can hear properly for learning and communication.
