If you listen to a high frequency that you can't hear can you go deaf?

Hello there!
This is a website for science experiments, so you should clarify the purpose of your question next time. However, to answer your question, there would be some noise-induced hearing loss though I doubt that immediate deafness would occur. Here is a great article for answering your question: "http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/09/ ... -your-ears"
Anway, I hope that helps!
