Both: Both high and low frequency noises can be damaging to one's hearing if loud enough, or if exposed to long enough. Haven't seen any research studies comparing each to determine which is more damaging. It's sort of like comparing lemons to limes... hard to find a difference. Anyway, one should wear good hearing protection if exposed to loud noises. For comfort, avoid sounds that sound irritating.
