“…Hormonal or cardiovascular variablca may be rcsponsible. Dengerink et al (1984) reported greater vasoconstriction in response to noise among male subjects. which is consistent with Buck's (1971) claim that females generally evidence smaller autonomic stress reactions to aversive events.…”

“…Several reports on temporary threshold shift (TTS) suggest differences in auditory function hetween men and womcn; however, none of the TTS or temporary noise-induced tinnitus studies reviewed examined the relationship between gender or hearing level and tinnitus (Axelsson & Lindgren, 1978; Chermak el al., 1984;Dengerink et al, 1984;Loeh & Fletcher, 1963;Ward. 1966).…”

Reversible tinnitus was induced in 10 male and 8 female normal-hearing subjects following a 5 min 110 dB SPL exposure to white noise. Temporary threshold shift (TTS) was measured at 2 and 4 kHz. Characteristics of the tinnitus were determined by means of a written questionnaire administered 5 min following termination of the noise. Most of the subjects experienced a continuous tonal tinnitus of moderate loudness. Characterization of the tinnitus regarding spectral quality, type of sound, and perceived location differed as a function of gender. No difference in TTS measured at 2 and 4 kHz was seen as a function of gender. Positive relationships of fair to moderate strength were revealed between pre-exposure thresholds, TTS, and tinnitus pitch and level.

“…Despite the growing realization that sex often modulates the clinical responses of patients, only a few studies have investigated sex differences in susceptibility to NIHL in humans. [ 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ] The studies of permanent hearing loss, generally caused by long-term occupational exposure, tend to indicate that men are more susceptible than women to hearing loss across all frequencies. [ 17 18 24 ] However, there is still some question about whether the sex differences typically observed in hearing loss are in fact due mostly to differences in the noise exposure experienced by men and women.…”

Introduction:Sex differences in brain biochemistry, physiology, structure, and function have been gaining increasing attention in the scientific community. Males and females can have different responses to medications, diseases, and environmental variables. A small number of the approximately 7500 studies of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) have identified sex differences, but the mechanisms and characterization of these differences have not been thoroughly studied. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a mandate in 2015 to include sex as a biological variable in all NIH-funded research beginning in January 2016.Materials and Methods:In the present study, the representation of sex as a biological variable in preclinical and basic studies of NIHL was quantified for a 5-year period from January 2011 to December 2015 prior to the implementation of the NIH mandate.Results:The analysis of 210 basic and preclinical studies showed that when sex is specified, experiments are predominantly performed on male animals.Discussion:This bias is present in studies completed in the United States and foreign institutions, and the proportion of studies using only male participants has actually increased over the 5-year period examined.Conclusion:These results underscore the need to invest resources in studying NIHL in both sexes to better understand how sex shapes the outcomes and to optimize treatment and prevention strategies.

Summary Hormonal dysfunctions in women during pregnancy can cause vestibular and/or cochlear disorders. Aim to study hearing and vestibular complaints in pregnant women. Material And Method this is a prospective study. 82 pregnant women participated on this study. For hearing and vestibular complaints, a questionnaire proposed by Castagno (1994) was employed. Results we could observe that tinnitus was the main auditory complaint (33%), although with no differences between the groups. Tinnitus was present among 52.44% of the pregnant women, mainly in the Group 2. According to symptoms related to dizziness, vertigo was the main auditory complaint in first trimester, whereas instability and gait unbalance were more frequent in the second trimester, and instability and tendency to fall in the third trimester. Nausea was the main symptom associated with dizziness in pregnant women, being more frequent in the first trimester of gestation. Conclusions women during gestation have auditory and vestibular complaints, mainly dizziness and tinnitus.
