I caught myself doing something very odd the other day. I was on the bus, talking on my phone, and it was very loud; so without thinking I put my finger in my left ear. This is a pointless action for me, as I'm deaf in that ear. I only did it for a second or two, but it's not the first time I've done it. I also usually say "ears" instead of "ear"--even in situations which apply only to one ear. I wonder why I do this? Is it habit, that I've picked up from other people, from society around me? I think it must be.
It's just something I wonder about, anyways.
