Generally, girls and women tend to hear higher frequencies better than boys and men, but this can change with age.
According to research, women often demonstrate superior hearing at higher frequencies (above 2,000Hz) across various age groups. However, as women age, they can experience more difficulty hearing lower frequencies (1,000 — 2,000 Hz) compared to men.
| Feature | Girls/Women | Boys/Men |
|---|---|---|
| High Frequencies | Generally hear better (above 2,000Hz) | May not hear as well (above 2,000Hz) |
| Low Frequencies | May experience more difficulty with age (1,000 - 2,000 Hz) | May retain better hearing with age (1,000 - 2,000 Hz) |
