You may be left or right handed. You may have one foot slightly bigger than the other. You probably see better out of one eye than the other. But, and you may have to think a little about this one......which ear do you use the most?

LOL. Never really thought about that. I guess I use which ever ear is closer to the sound..LOL. I have very good hering. I wake up for the slightest sounds, I can here peoples conversations across a room, I usually here most things before anyone else does.

Aha!!! Are you saying you have faster ears than most people? There's more to this than meets the...er... I'm sure bigger ears are more sensitive, but I have to wonder what makes ears faster? Hahahaha....

LOL. I dont know the answer to that one. I do have better hearing than most people. Its a gift and a curse! Like at night I wake to the smallest sounds like say my baby lizard scratching on his tank or the kids moving.

Umm, probably my right ear I think. Although my hearing is generally pretty good in both ears I guess one will be sharper than the other. By the way, I have been sitting here for the last 5 minutes tapping a spoon whilst covering one ear so I could try to tell which one heard it loudest! Not that I have too much time on my hands or anything ....

Hi Nuffsed, That is a very good question. I think I use both of my ears equally. I never had to stop and think about this one before. It's very brilliant indeed.

that is a good question! i never noticed if one ear listens more than the other ear...if i had to guess, i would say its my right ear? i'd be curious to see any research on this one!

Thanks for that Vera. It just popped into my head the other day and we had a little laugh about it. I thought that this is the ideal place for such a mystery. lol
