title: [Functional audiometry in women during the preovulatory and menstrual phases].
abstract: Hearing performance at 4000 and 6000 Hz was observed in height young female subjects before and after they were submitted to an acoustical stress (105 dBA continuous pink-noise for twenty min) during the pre-ovulatory phase and the menstrual phase respectively. Complementary observations were made in height young female subjects under oral contraceptives in the same conditions and at correspondent phases. In each group, parametric analysis of results does not allow to reject the null hypothesis according which the two phases would not differ for auditory performance, when observed for resting thresholds, temporary threshold shifts and recovery processes of auditory fatigue.
