| Something to consider is neurological issues with earing perception. This is something I only know a tiny bit about. We have a 'preferred' ear just like we have a preferred eye but this doesn't mean that other ear is functionally defective. I have ambliopia (which as a aside is why I am able to cross one eye so well as you see in my nerd avatar) which is basically a neurological issue where your brain has a very strong preference for one eye. The only way to correct it is to patch the preferred eye before the age of 4 years for several hours every day.
Now let me offer you some low-budget philosophy.
My son was just tested for ambiopia and he doesn't have it. But if he did, I don't know that I would want to do anything about it. I see almost entirely with my left eye. Your left eye sends messages to your right visual cortex which is the side of your brain that is used in artistic expression. This is a part of who I am. Think about how this applies to hearing and mixing. I sometimes mix with my head slightly off-axis to gain a different perspective.
Now let me just get plain crazy.
I have during kundalini yoga been able to temporarily switch my awareness and focus to my less used eye and ear. It is a very bizarre experience. |
