The hearing in my right ear is not very good. What can I do?

What? I've always known my hearing is not up to par. It's nothing too bad. I have some trouble hearing soft spoken people in loud places. I only recently discovered it was my right ear that was lacking. I used some old earbuds which had one of the buds at a louder volume then the other. When I switched ears, the difference was pretty significant. Is there anything that a doctor could do about this? The state of my hearing is by no means recent. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. It's no where near being a disability, just an annoyance.

Have your hearing tested. Tell them you are "missing things". They will test you at different volumes and frequencies and can give you insight into how well your ears function.

I have a number of friends who have one ear better than another. Sometimes it is as simple for them as sitting in certain places at dinner, that sort of thing.

Hold the phone up to your left ear

I know someone who's deaf in his left ear, has to sit so his right ear is next to people. If you're in the UK Specsavers do free hearing tests.

+1. Getting tested is the first thing to do.
