Why Women Feel More Pain: Groundbreaking Study Reveals Key Biological Clue

Researchers at the University of Calgary have uncovered biological differences between the sexes in how chronic pain is experienced. A new study led by Dr. Tuan Trang, a professor at the University of Calgary, offers insight into why women are disproportionately affected by chronic pain. According to a 2019 report from the Canadian Pain Task [...]

New study finds women have more sensitive hearing than men, regardless of age or environment

A new study of hearing sensitivity across global populations has revealed that women consistently have more sensitive hearing than men—by about two decibels on average—regardless of age or where they live. The researchers also found that the local environment plays a significant role in shaping how our ears respond to different sound frequencies. The study, published in Scientific Reports, suggests that both biological and environmental factors …

Females have an average hearing of two decibels more sensitive than men in all the populations studied. Women were always right, men really don't hear. An international team of scientists has found that men have significantly less sensitive hearing than women across all frequencies and populations. The tests were conducted on 450 individuals from 13 global populations, including Ecuador, England, Gabon, South Africa, and Uzbekistan.

They investigated the sensitivity of the cochlea in the ear. The second most significant influence was the environment. People who lived in forest areas had the highest hearing sensitivity. Hearing problems are on the rise worldwide, and while hearing sensitivity is known to decrease with age, little research has been conducted on other biological and environmental factors that influence it, such as gender, ear part, language, ethnicity, and loc…
