Just something fun to cleanse your timeline:
You weren't imagining those mom superpowers. She really does have spidey senses.
The study was led by Dr. Patricia Balaresque from France's Centre for Biodiversity and Environmental Research in Toulouse and was published in Scientific Reports. It looked at 448 people across five countries and measured how the inner ear responds to sound through a technique used in newborn hearing screenings.
Scientists can measure an "echo" from your ear called "Transient-Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions" that indicates how the hairs in your cochlea respond to brief sounds, like a click or a snap.
Women's ears were a bit perkier.
In the population-based model (a), for amplitude metrics, strong contrasts were observed between population pairs, particularly those including Amerindian populations ... Sex also contributed significantly, explaining around 2 dB differences between men and women. Age sub-classes showed estimates ranging from 1.4 to 3 dB, with notable homogeneity observed between the youngest (18 - 25 and 25 - 35 years) and oldest (35 - 45 and 45 - 55 years) age groups, suggesting significant age-related trends...
So husbands, next time you fail at listening to your wife, just sit her down and say, "Don't be angry, honey, I'm just at a biological disadvantage."
I'm sure that'll go over REALLY WELL.
