Summer Rain

Yes, I listen to this song a lot.

ANYWAY, the weirdest thing just happened to me.

I noticed that there was a distortion in the earbuds I use to listen to music on the computer.  The vocals sounded like they were under water, no matter what genre I was listening to -- folk, trance, techno, indie-pop, pop.  I thought it strange and started fiddling with iTunes equalizer settings, to no avail.

So, I went to the main Windows volume controls.  I started playing around with levels, but it wasn't working.

In a flashbang of inspiration, I decided to move the "wave" function from the center, balanced, position to the right.  Instant fix!

And now I'm wondering, does that mean that one of my ears is more sensitive to one type of sound than the other?  Like, I have a vocals ear and a supporting noise ear?  I've noticed the change a little bit, but not as blatant as tonight and I've done no real changing to the settings on the controls -- aside from overall volume.

Just as a sidenote, I use a headset for work and the side which picks of voices better, supposedly, is the side where people literally talk in my ear all day.

I did put it to the other side and the effect was pretty much the same, but it was stronger on the right ear.

Huh.
