Right-handed, born hearing and became deaf when I was 8 months old.
Ugh..I wish I was hearing guy.

right-handed, profound hearing loss.
my husband is left-handed and profound hearing loss as well.

I dont think this is a good study because thisis biased. How do you explain for the hearing people who are left-handed? I think there are more left-handed in general because it is not looked down now.
In 50s , they would force a left-handed student to learn right because being a "left" was wrong.

So with the "discrimination" lifted, more people are naturally left-handed.

The paper was not that great, I agree, but it had one interesting point, which was that preferential hearing during development helps determine what handedness you are. It is a hard topic to study but, who knows what things can be revealed upon closer examinations.....

Thanks!
