i'm left handed but i tend to hold phones to my right ear.
- mannykannot 2y agoInteresting - I would guess you usually hold it with your right hand? Is your hearing noticeably asymmetric? Come to think of it, if I'm doing something else at the same time - such as, of course, writing - I will hold the phone to my left ear with my left hand. Whichever way, in my case, it has little to do with my hearing.
- woodrowbarlow 2y agoyes, with my right hand. i don't think my hearing is asymmetric, i think i just appreciate having my dominant hand free while i talk. a doctor once observed i tend to do "fine motor skills" (e.g. handwriting) left-handed but "large motor skills" (e.g. swinging a baseball bat) right-handed.
- finger 2y agoI’m right handed but I often use my left hand and left ear, or sometimes even my right hand and left ear
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoRight hand/left ear feels incredibly awkward to me — almost as bad as trying to get something from your left pocket with your right hand.
- moomin 2y agoThe thing is, we may have an ear preference but switching doesn't seem to be that big a deal. UK cops are taught to pick up the phone with their non-dominant hand so that their dominant hand can take notes. I'm guessing _most_ people use their dominant hand to hold their phone unless they're accustomed to taking notes.
