so i asked chatgpt which ear to listen to music in while skiing and biking to maintain awareness of my surroundings and drive creativity in my riding. here’s what it spit out:

When deciding which ear to put the earbud in while skiing or biking, consider the following factors:

1. **Hearing Surroundings**: It's crucial to maintain awareness of your environment for safety. Typically, people prefer to keep their dominant ear free to better hear surroundings. If you're right-handed, your right ear is often more dominant, and vice versa for left-handed people.

2. **Understanding Speech**: Research suggests that most people process speech better with their right ear, as it is more directly connected to the left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for language processing. Keeping the right ear open might help you understand what others are saying around you.

3. **Creativity**: The right hemisphere of the brain is often associated with creativity. Listening to music in your left ear might stimulate the right hemisphere more effectively.

Given these considerations, **wearing the earbud in your left ear** might be the best option. This allows your right ear to stay open, helping you better hear and understand your surroundings and any communication. Additionally, it could potentially enhance your creative thinking for new tricks.

seems legit. which ear you got??
 
If I hit my head some more times my brain will turn mush. Therefore no hemispheres, so no music and i can instead listen to my brain sloshing around in my skull
 
(assuming there's any truth to what he said) those are interesting points

i switch back and forth though in an effort to preserve the lifespan of the two airpods. i used to use right only all the time and that seemed to result in them dying way before the left one

So true man. Mine is pretty mushy. Doc gave me a project. Put a hardboiled egg in a tupperwear container with water and shake it a shit ton. Thats what my brain looks like apparently. Put salt in the water as well so it tasted better.
 
Ear buds, right ear always.

Overear headphones, left ear covered, right ear uncovered, no clue why
