New discovery Estrogen controls how the brain processes sound.

"Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered that the hormone estrogen plays a pivotal role in how the brain processes sounds."

"We show that estrogen plays a central role in how the brain extracts and interprets auditory information. It does this on a scale of milliseconds in neurons, as opposed to days, months or even years in which estrogen is more commonly known to affect an organism."
