Is the TV too loud?

Does the volume selected on the TV remote sound the same to men and women?

In general, females as a group have greater hearing sensitivity and greater susceptibility to noise exposure at high frequencies. Researchers found that women's average maximum comfort level was consistently about 8 decibels lower than that of men. Rather than get irritated if the volume is too loud or not loud enough, it's best to look for a solution that works best for both of you as you seek to understand and appreciate each other.

In addition, in general, males use one hemisphere of the brain at a time as he listens to one sound at a time. For females, both hemispheres of the brain are used as she is usually hearing multiple sounds at one time. If he is watching and listening to the football game, it is not wise to start talking to him and expecting a response without first getting his attention.

Men and women perceive the world in different ways. Appreciating the differences helps husbands and wives to live together in an understanding way.
