The left side dominance of T prevalence and also of NIHL intrigues me, since its seems weird to me.

Results: NIHL was more pronounced in the left ear, regardless of demographic characteristics, noise exposure parameters, acoustic reflexmeasures, or handedness.
Conclusion: The asymmetry in hearing loss severity may be attributed to the cortical pathways, specifically to the more pronounced efferent auditory system on the right side, which reduces the susceptibility of the right ear to cochlear insult.
