A new study by scientists in healthy individuals has revealed that people’s left ear responds much more to “good news” than their right ear does. Experts haven’t figured out why for now, but if someone tells you they have good news, you might want to hear it in your left ear after this article.
Within the scope of the research carried out within the scope of the University of Lausanne, Federal Institute of Technology and Lausanne University Hospital serving in Switzerland, it was investigated how positive sounds such as laughter or news that will make people happy are perceived by our ears. According to research, when the left ear hears a positive sound, it triggers very high levels of neural activity. Of course, the right ear also triggered neural activity when hearing positive sounds, but the trigger level was quite low compared to the left ear.
Moreover, the left ear only does this for good news and positive sounds.
In the study, participants listened to both positive sounds, such as good news and laughter, and negative sounds, such as meaningless vowels and screaming. At this point, it was determined that the left ear overreacted to positive sounds and produced normal levels of neural activity in negative or neutral sounds. So the left ear was overreacting only during good news or positive sound. Negative or neutral sounds were the same for the left and right ears. Let me also point out; Within the scope of the research, people were listened to sounds from the right, left and front.
Making statements on the subject, Stephanie Clarke said that they did not know when and why the preference made by the left ear existed. In addition, the scientist stated that it is not known whether this condition is specific to humans or not. If these mysteries can be clarified, it may become clear why the left ear overreacts to good news. Of course, let me point out that this takes time.
