THE BEST WAY TO HEAR CERTAIN SOUNDS
If you're stuck chatting up a mumbler at a cocktail party, lean in with your right ear.

If, on the other hand, you're trying to identify that song playing softly in the elevator, turn your left ear toward the sound. The left ear is better at picking up music tones.
