This is pretty interesting stuff. The paper, published in the German Journal, Naturwissenschaften, looks at a series of three studies of ear preference between humans. The researchers, Dr. Luca Tommasi and Daniele Marzoli from the University “Gabriele d’Annunzio” in Italy, are pretty clever. Controlled laboratory studies have shown a preference for right ear dominance with the reasoning being that humans process verbal information more efficiently with their left brain hemisphere.
