I am left-handed and prefer listening on the phone with my left ear. Surely, hand dominance must play a roll in which ear is the preferred one.

Why would our scientists waste our times studying this when they could be studying something important like cancer! My 8 year old cousin, my aunt, and my mom are cancer survivors. They should be honored by scientists trying to find a cure

I am left oriented and my left ear is more attuned to less audible sounds than my right ear!!

This is total crap. If the right hemisphere of the brain deals with withdrawal and avoidance behavior, then why do some people (like me) like to be hugged on their right side of the head and neck vs. the left side? That quote sounds like something somebody made up to support a stupid article with no real merit.
