Those people who have their speech and language centers located on the left side of their brain are much more likely to make use of their right hand for the purposes of writing and other day-to-day activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The Henry Ford Hospital study also shows that the great majority of left-brain dominant people also use their cell phone in their right ear even though there is no discernible difference in hearing between either their left or right ears.  Likewise, right brain dominant people are much more likely to make use of their left hand in order to hold the cell phone to their left ear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cOur finding has
