Hearing

Question:
State the main features of hearing loss in terms of frequency response for noise-related hearing loss.

Mark Scheme:
loss is maximum at 4 kHz

What does the answer that actually mean?
Does it mean you can lose the most intensity at 4kHz?

Many thanks in advance!
noise related hearing loss affects a persons sensitivity to high frequencies first... presumably you're expected to read 4kHz off a graph or some other data that was in the question but that you have opted not to show.
