We finally have an excuse ladies!
Men do have trouble hearing women, scientists find Sat Aug 6, 7:29 PM ET
Men who are accused of never listening by women now have an excuse — women’s voices are more difficult for men to listen to than other men’s, a report said.
The Daily Mail, quoting findings published in the specialist magazine
NeuroImage, said researchers at Sheffield university in northern England discovered startling differences in the way the brain responds to male and female sounds.
Men deciphered female voices using the auditory part of the brain that processes music, while male voices engaged a simpler mechanism, it said.
The Mail quoted researcher Michael Hunter as saying, “The female voice is actually more complex than the male voice, due to differences in the size and shape of the vocal cords and larynx between men and women, and also due to women having greater natural ‘melody’ in their voices.
“This causes a more complex range of sound frequencies than in a male voice.”
The findings may help explain why people suffering hallucinations usually hear male voices, the report added, as the brain may find it much harder to conjure up a false female voice accurately than a false male voice.

Ha, it’s not just male brains that have a problem listening to (to simplify) female voices. I really, really have a problem with nearly all females on broadcast news, just have to mute the set after my initial pained response of the eardrums.
I also find that women just include far too many tangents about far too many details and it creates impatience and a “I can’t hear you” response by many others (including some of us other females).
Two people go camping and take a canoe for a planned river excursion on their first morning at camp.
==>>First scenario: TWO MALES.
Male One gets up, unpacks and readies canoe on river. Goes to Man Two at the campsite and says, “canoe’s set.”
Both men leave camp and go to canoe, get in canoe, leave on river.
==>>Second scenario: TWO FEMALES, or, ONE MALE and ONE FEMALE
FEMALE ONE (or One and Only) unpacks canoe, readies it, approaches other (female or male) at campsite and says, “Hey, good morning, isn’t it just beautiful here in the woods? I mean, wow, just wonderful air. Did you notice this air? Wonderful. Hey, is that coffee? You sweety, you left an extra cup! I could really use a great cup of coffee at this hour. After all that work, too…speaking of work, you know, I had a hard time untying all those keepers on the truck just to get the canoe lose — I broke a nail, frustrating, ’cause I just had my nails done by, hey, you know the place down the street from the kid’s school? I forget the name of the place but you probably see that every day when you drive past it, the place on the corner with the cute blue awnings, anyway, I got a great manicure there just two days ago and it’s ruined now. But, hey, I got the canoe in.the.river, buddy! All by myself! I couldn’t believe how much those weekly workouts are paying off…hey, this is sure a great cup of coffee, I can’t believe you made this from instant. It IS instant, isn’t it? I mean, how could you have ground coffee all the way out here, oh, hahahaha, ground coffee, get it? GROUND coffeee, ohhahahahaha. Um. Great coffee, sweety.
Oh, the canoe. I think you got a great deal from LLBean on that one. It’s a beauty….”
Thus, the difference between the two genders and how we communicate, mostly, on average. I know I find most women truly exhausting about issues, specifics, just talking.
And, worse, women truly don’t like to hear other women, either. If my scenario Two (above) involved two women, an arguement would more than likely ensue after that dialogue because the other female would demand, “are you finished?! Can **I** talk now?!” and off they’d go.
If it wasn’t Female One, it would be Female Two in offense comments/offense response but the point is is that women do not know how to connect well verbally. We KNOW that males aren’t listening and so we overtalk which is the error. As to other females, most don’t want a relationship with women so much as they want other women to nurture them, just as males do — thus, a competitive approach to communicating with other women, not a mutual approach.
At least, some of the issues I’ve experienced.
Men are just easier to communicate with, in my experience, far easier.
