hearing imbalance



I got into hi fi last year and loving every minute of it and constantly upgrading my system. However, I noticed that most music I listen to lean slightly to the left. I thought it was room acoustics or the stereo recording (since strings in an orchestra are on the left). However, it seems my left ear has better hearing than my right ear especially with high frequency (just plugged one ear at a time and tested). This is very unnerving as I can't enjoy music fully, is this common for many people? How do you go around these problems?

Glad to hear your problem was solved so quickly and easily, Plaser!

That being said, a friend of mine who also tested hearing routinely told me that most American men have better hearing in their right ears. Why? Because we have spent a fair amount of time driving with the window open - kind of an auditory "truck driver's tan".
