James Jerger, PhD
The Remarkable History of Right-Ear Advantage, by James Jerger, PhD (January 2018 HR)
For good reasons, the auditory system of humans evolved with a right-ear advantage (or left-ear disadvantage) as speech processing required more of the brain. Dr Jerger takes readers on a remarkable journey of the auditory system and looks at some of the interesting implications of right-ear advantage in terms of binaural processing, speech understanding, and amplification.
