The first experiment examined thresholds at 4 and 8 kHz and the threshold of octave masking at 4 kHz before and after noise for males, females, and females using oral contraceptives. Females using oral contraceptives evidenced greater threshold shifts at 4 kHz than either of the other two groups. The second experiment examined thresholds and the loudness discrimination index at 4 kHz for males and females before and after noise exposure. Females evidenced greater loudness discrimination index changes both with and without noise exposure than did males. In addition, females responded to the noise with cutaneous vasodilation while males evidenced vasoconstriction.
第一个实验检测了男性、女性以及服用口服避孕药的女性在4千赫和8千赫时的听阈，以及噪声前后4千赫的倍频程掩蔽阈值。服用口服避孕药的女性在4千赫时的听阈变化比其他两组中的任何一组都大。第二个实验检测了男性和女性在噪声暴露前后4千赫时的听阈和响度辨别指数。无论有无噪声暴露，女性的响度辨别指数变化都比男性大。此外，女性对噪声的反应是皮肤血管舒张，而男性则表现为血管收缩。
