Now there is evidence that the left and right ears are "programmed" differently. "We were intrigued to discover that the clicks triggered more amplification in the baby's right ear, while the tones induced more amplification in the baby's left ear," suggesting that the left ear, being connected to the right brain hemisphere, is better at tones/patterns/waves/analog info while the right ear is designed from birth to specialize in "clicks", which are digital/consonants/binary pulses fed to the left brain.
