is one ear usually stronger?

I'm thinking that if we do have a dominant ear, like an eye, we may not know it because we just wouldn't. Take your eyes for example. You do have a dominant eye but you don't realize it when they are both open. A fun trick for your eyes to find out which is dominant: with both eyes open, hold out your hand and make a circle with your thumb and pointer finger. Now pick an object and put that object in the circle. Close one eye, if the the object is still in the circle, that's your dominant eye.

On a side note, I sat my girlfriend down an d played a couple songs that I felt had a soundstage that was shifted a bit to the right and she said she could hear it too. I think she might of been just saying it to appease me, so I'll need a few more guinea pigs before I make a final deceision...

I called around today and the Dr's around here want anywhere between $200-$300 to clean my ears, and $150 for a hearing test. I read online after being told by a friend, that you can pour a cap full of hydrogen peroxide in your ear, let it do it's thing for ten minutes and then drain it out. She said alot of wax comes out. I tried this, heard the peroxide bubbling and fizzing in my ear for ten minutes but no wax came out and my hearing is the same, I believe. I might just bite the bullet and pay the $200 at some time to get them cleaned, and then also do a hearing test. Don't really want to spend the $400-$500 on it, but whatever.

:-) Thank you! I never thought about ear wax accumulating in my ear even though just today I was talking with Mom about how I regularly use q tips to clean my ears and she said when she does that it actually pushes it (wax) into her ear and builds up. Who would have thought that my next upgrade should be to see the ear Doc. You guys are great, thank you!
