All's well in what you say except that the human ear does not have its highest sensitivity at 1KHz. That frequency was chosen as a reference (0dB) by Bell Labs before they did their population testing many decades ago. The maximum sensitivity is in the range of 3000-3500Hz and is due to the resonant characteristics of the external auditory meatus (outer ear canal) which is the acoustical equivalent of a stopped tube. As a result, the auditory threshhold in that range is about -6 to -10dB referred to 1KHz.
