I think it was wondered whether you were having the independent streams panned hard to the left and right ears and if that had something to do with hemispheres of the brain and the processing efficiency.

That’s a super interesting question. I don’t think I isolate one stream to each ear since I can process them through headphones as well. Also routinely when I am working as a radio officer, I have conversations with live humans in the room while listening and responding to audio over RF through the headphone.

To be honest, I can’t articulate how I do it. I just somehow manage to do it.
