... As a right0handed woman, I always use my left ear when I'm speaking on the 'phone?

Oh, that's right, it's because I can hear damn-all in my right ear at the best of times.

But why do people use their right ear in the first place though, if even people with normal hearing actually hear better on the 'phone with their left ear?

Snap! Although I'm a right handed guy and I've always intuitively answered the phone with my left hand and held it to my right ear.

Not sure where this leaves me and my genes in terms of chances of survival re-deer hunting, but it does mean my post it notes are fairly readable.

this entry wouldn't be necessary if people didn't talk on their cell phones in a car! it's good to be one who doesn't do such things

I always listen with the phone to my right ear (r handed female) because I imagined my hearing in my left ear was not so good - though no evidence of this in other situations - maybe my left brain is under developed ???

A right handed male. I spent years working in an office. The 'phone was always positioned on the left side of the desk. I answered with my left hand and listened with my left ear. Why? It made writing at the same time so much easier........or that too logical?

I am a left-handed male, I pick up the phone with my right hand and hold it always to my right ear and am frequently able to conduct both very logical and very emotional conversations on the phone. I have always been able to throw very prodigiously and accurately with my left arm. I think I prove only one thing. That some left-handed males are insufferably arrogant...
