Since I've bought a walkman I've noticed that there is a major
difference in the hearing of my two ears.  (Actually I've considered
that for a long time its just that the walkman made it obvious).  
My left ear is much more sensitive than my right ear.  I seem to have
suficient hearing in both ears because I've had my hearing checked
a few times and no one mentioned any problem.  My ability to figure
out the direction a sound is coming from is not good but not terrible
either.  Oh yes,  I think I've had this condition since childhood
but am not positive.  I ask the combined expertise of net.med .  
Should I do something about this?  If so what?  Right now I am doing 
nothing.  Generally this is the right choice in my experience but
on the other hand I am a great believer in preventative medicine.
