Study shows women can hear better than men

Sex and environment shape cochlear sensitivity in human populations worldwide

Hearing remains an underexplored aspect of human evolution. While the growing prevalence of hearing issues worldwide highlights the need to investigate factors beyond age, ototoxic substances, and recreational noise— factors affecting only a subset of the population —the role of environmental influences remains relatively unaddressed. In contrast, hearing and vocalizations have been extensively studied in many vertebrates through the Acoustic Ad…

Study shows women can hear better than men

An international team of scientists has found that biological sex is the leading factor explaining differences in hearing sensitivity, with women having significantly more sensitive hearing than men.

Women Really Do Have Better Hearing Than Men, Study Confirms

If you've ever noticed women picking up whispered conversations that men seem to miss, science has finally confirmed your observation. The post Women Really Do Have Better Hearing Than Men, Study Confirms appeared first on Study Finds.

People also differ in how well they hear. It is known, for example, that older people have worse hearing on average than younger people, while women, according to some studies, hear slightly better than men.

Women Show Greater Hearing Sensitivity Than Men, Global Study Finds | Hearing Health & Technology Matters

A new international study examining hearing sensitivity across diverse global populations has found that women, on average, have more sensitive hearing than men—by approximately two decibels. Researchers also found that environmental factors, such as altitude and surrounding soundscapes, play a significant role in how individuals perceive sound. The study, published in Scientific Reports, involved researchers from the Centre for Biodiversity and…
