hearing acuity (Effectiveness of hearing) hørselsskarphet
hearing impairment (A decrease in strength or any abnormality or partial or complete loss of hearing or of the function of ear, or hearing system, due directly or secondarily to pathology or injury; it may be either temporary or permanent) hørselssvekkelse

hearing system (The system that is concerned with the perception of sound, is mediated through the organ of Corti of the ear in mammals or through corresponding sensory receptors of the lagena in lower vertebrates, is normally sensitive in man to sound vibrations between 16 and 27.000 cycles per second but most receptive to those between 2.000 and 5.000 cycles per second, is conducted centrally by the cochlear branch of the auditory nerve, and is coordinated especially in the medial geniculate body) hørselsystem
heat (physics, A form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature: it is equal to the total kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules of a system) varme
heat and power station (Power station which produces both electricity and hot water for the local population. A CHP (Combined Heat and Power Station) plant may operate on almost any fuel, including refuse) kraftvarmeverk
heat pump (A device which transfers heat from a cooler reservoir to a hotter one, expending mechanical energy in the process, especially when the main purpose is to heat the hot reservoir rather than refrigerate the cold one) varmepumpe
heat storage (Keeping heat created during a period of low consumption until a peak period when it is needed) varmelagring
heat supply (The provision of heating fuel, coal or other heating source materials, or the amount of heating capacity, for the use of a municipality, or other heat user) varmeforsyning

heavy metal load (The amount of stress put on an ecosystem by heavy metal pollution released into it) tungmetallbelastning
hedge (A line of closely planted bushes or shrubs, marking the boundaries of a field. The type of hedge varies between parts of the country, and its age can be dated from the number of species of tree and shrub present. Over the last thirty years hedge-row removal has had a marked visual effect on lowland agricultural landscapes. From the farmer's point of view, in areas of predominant arable or intensively managed grazing, there is little or no economic justification for retaining hedges) hekk
