A medical condition of hearing heavy or deep sounds better than high-pitched sounds, causing difficulty with certain frequencies.
From Greek 'barys' (heavy/deep) + 'akoe' (hearing). A specialized medical term created in the 19th century to describe specific types of hearing loss patterns.
This rare condition is the opposite of many common hearing problems—while aging typically makes people lose high-frequency hearing first, baryecoia patients experience the reverse pattern, struggling with bass frequencies!
