I’m right handed and always use my right ear for talking on the phone. Can’t use my left - somehow it feels completely wrong.
So I’m wondering if most people use their dominant side ear too? Or are there switch listeners?
I’m right handed but normally use my left ear for the phone. I only use my right ear if I’ve been on for a long time and my left ear starts to hurt.
Right handed and I use my right ear. I only swap sides if my ear hurts from talking too long.
I’m right handed and I nearly exclusively use my left ear. I can’t write while talking on the phone if I hold the phone in my right hand! It just became a habit and now I joke that I can’t hear on the phone in my right ear.
Both simultaneously via headphones. Holding the phone drives me crazy and makes my arm fall asleep.
I’m right-handed but ambi-earxtrous.
Right-handed and left ear. That way my right hand is free if I need to write something.
Left. Though my hearing tests normal in both ears, I simply can’t listen to a phone with my right ear. I’m left handed, as well.
I’m left-handed and almost exclusively use my right hand and ear for the phone. That way I can write if needed, and now it’s an ingrained habit.
I guess I’m right-handed, technically, but I usually use the LH for the phone, I guess – that’s the standard, I think. Definitely for a marathon spill session, LH on the mouthpiece. I still want to hook up a thing a la “Nightfly” to the mixer, but I’d probably break my AC source somehow and it would be not good.
Right handed and always use my left ear when talking on the phone, but when using a blue douche device, I use my right ear.
Really hoping that was an auto-correct error…
I’m right handed and I use my left hand for talking on the phone. I’m usually sitting at my computer whenever I make or get a call and my right hand is busy working the mouse.
I’m right handed but I use my left ear - mainly due to a right ear tragus piercing which rattles against the phone on that side, and it allows me to use my right hand for mouse driving. During a long conversation I will sometimes switch sides, but prefer the left.
I switch, depending on what I have in my hands and how long the call is.
So far the longest call I’ve had without a headset was c. 3:30 - even switching ears, both of mine were “ironed flat” by the time the call ended.
Nah, people who use those are douches. He’s just cognizant of it and owns it.
Me? At work it depends on what side of our many phones I happen to be near. Whatever is closest I’ll answer it and talk on that side. For some reason on my cell I think I use my left hand for some reason, though I’m right-handed. I get/make so few phone calls I’m really not sure.
Right handed and use my left ear b/c I only have a mild/moderate loss on that ear.
I have no preference. I can switch arms when one falls asleep, and it’s all the same to me. I’m used to a headset at work and while gaming, though. So technically the best is no arms and both ears.
My ear has never begun to hurt while talking on the phone. Maybe it depends how you hold it or what model of phone you use? But I don’t mash phones against my head. I hold it up with my arm muscles instead of pressing it against my skull.
Right ear only.
I’ve got a small loss in hearing in my left ear in the normal voice range. I can normally hear conversations, but have a difficult time with conversations if I can only hear with my left ear, such as on the phone or being in a noisy environment like a bar, and the person is seated to my left.
I’m right handed so if I need to take notes, then I hold the phone with my left hand up to my right ear, and yes, it looks like I’m playing Twister.
Same here.
I switch to left ear if I have to jot something down or if my ear hurts.
