Sex-specific differences in self-reported speech, spatial, and qualities of hearing abilities
While the observed female advantage for several speech and qualities questions is consistent with performance-based findings in the literature, the lack of male advantage for spatial questions is not. Results show a previously unreported advantage for females in situations involving concentration and listening effort, with implications for educational settings, where male students might benefit from lip-reading in noisy environments.
