Lines: 18 From: David SherSince 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. -- -David Sher sher@rochester seismo!rochester!sher
