With my left ear I'm able to hear some frequencies or at least one frequency at very low volumes I'm unable to hear with my right ear, so technically it's my better ear, but with my right ear understanding the content of speech and music is easier to do. Perhaps "content of music" isn't a good phrasing, but similar to the content of speech, there's a difference for the perception of music by comparing my left with my right ear/hearing that seems to be independent of the technical ability of hearing. Wit/reason is interacting different with perception from the left and right ear. JFTR my hearing with both ears is ok, there isn't a difference regarding physical health of the ears. Regarding the brain, I'm right-hander, but dyslexic. Being a left-hander or dyslexic seems to have impact to artistically mind. When mixing music I not only switch between stereo and mono, but I also change the left and right channel. I wonder how clearly the difference between left and right ear perception/understanding is for others?!
