If you're interested then read the studies by John Corso (like 'Age & Sex Differences in Thresholds') who back in the 50s and 60s did a number of tests regarding gender differences and hearing ranges which basically concluded with girls/women having a more sensitive hearing range than boys/men, typically around the 2-5KHz area which is roughly the audible range of a baby's cry.
They are a load of other studies into this (can't remember any others from my days at Uni) but the medical reason is that inner ear hairs, stereocilia, on females are stiffer than those found in males - hence the increase in sensitivity.
