30 Jan 01 - 01:32 PM (#385790) Subject: Informal Hearing Survey From: katlaughing Working on a pet theory of mine. Please answer the questions, if you'd like, and I will average it all out and explain my theory after a few days' postings. Thanks! 1) Do you hear better in one ear than the other? If, "yes", in which do you hear better? 2) Which ear do you use more in tuning your instrument(s) or when listening to yourself make music? kat

30 Jan 01 - 01:38 PM (#385795) Subject: RE: BS: Informal Hearing Survey From: Amergin Well, my left ear has suffered from less hearing loss than my right ear....so I guess I hear better with my left... Now as to which ear to I tune my "instrument" with...I think that is a bit too private of a matter to post here.... |
30 Jan 01 - 01:39 PM (#385797) Subject: RE: BS: Informal Hearing Survey From: rabbitrunning 1. Yes. The left. 2. Left, usually, but not always. I tend to listen to the phone with my right ear, though. |

30 Jan 01 - 01:48 PM (#385810) Subject: RE: BS: Informal Hearing Survey From: Ebbie * I'm not aware of any difference in my ears' capability but I tend to feel that because I am right handed, I am also right footed and right eared. * I've noticed that when I'm listening intently (as in tuning) I cock my head. The right, again. Eb |
