Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

High-frequency sounds are processed at the base of the cochlea, while low-frequency sounds are processed near the top. Hair cells at the base of the cochlea are more susceptible to damage than hair cells closer to the top, that's why hearing loss often effects high frequencies before low frequencies.
