The New Orleans Musicians' Clinic did not make any recommendations about low or high pitch sounds. Why are high pitch sounds less damaging to ears than louder sounds? Use your model and what you have learned about sound waves and energy to write an explanation. Some helpful words to include in your response are: transfer, energy, eardrum, and air particles.

Answer:

Due to high energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

High pitch sounds less damaging to ears than louder sounds because louder sounds contains more energy than high pitch sound. When this high energy of loud sound transfer from air particles towards our eardrum, it can greatly damaged the ear while on the other hand, high pitch sound has low energy so it causes less damaged to the eardrum.
