We presented part of our findings about the impact of prenatal hormones on sound perception at the 30th International Congress of Audiology.
Did you know?
- Our inner-ear works like an amplifier. Depending on our gender, ethnicity, and age, we have a different perception of sound.
- Even people of the same age and with no particular hearing issue hear bass, speech, and high-pitch sounds differently.
- Some people hear a baby crying 4 times louder! They are super-amplifiers, and are sensitive to high-pitched sounds.
- Medium-amplifiers find it difficult to follow a conversation if there is background noise.
- Non-amplifiers are resistant to loudness and enjoy music with extra bass!
