Lefties don't listen
According to this study the human brain uses the left hemisphere to pick out relevant sounds from the jumble of sounds we hear every day.
This is pretty interesting. It may mean that right-handed people can pick out sounds better than left-handed people (right handed people use the left hemisphere of their brain more), which may indicate why there are more right handers than left handers (right handers hunt better because they can distinguish the prey's footsteps from the other sounds of the forest and whatnot, giving them a survival bonus).
It could also mean that your left handed kid isn't listening to you because he can't hear you over the tv, construction next door, the cat wailing, etc.

Funny you should mention this! We were just talking about the fact that there aren't a lot of lefties here at {name of audio post-production facility removed to protect the guilty}.
Now we know why...
And now I need to learn how to edit a comment...
