It depends on your age and profession. If your work involves noise exposure then high frequencies get affected. If you are more than 50 years of age then also high frequencies get affected first. Although if there is wax in the ears then low frequencies are going to get affected first.

High frequency hearing loss is common as it's the first to be identified due to inner ear damage.
