Letter: Hemispheres hear handedness

Published 25 May 2016

From Len Freeman

Margaret Scott wonders why she prefers to listen with her right ear, even though this is more awkward for a right-handed person (Letters, 23 April). I have always used my left ear. I recently had a hearing test that showed my right ear is poorer at picking up the high frequencies needed to distinguish between consonants. Maybe it's just that her right ear is, too, a better receiver?
