Re:

I'm not kidding! This isn't for people who have a nice peaceful life as far as noise is concerned. If you've got no unwanted noise in your life. Nothing in your ears that's stimulating worry. Good for you. If you've got noisy neighbors, lots of sirens, barking dogs, etc. disturbing you, the ear plug in the right ear takes a lot of the irritation out of it.

I've had someone banging on my walls, lately. The ear plug slows down and weakens the signal going to the reactionary right side of the brain. This way the sound reaches the logical left side of the brain before it hits the emotional right side of the brain.

Instead of reacting to the rude noises as something to be angry about, the logical left side of the brain hears it simply as a noise. The negative judgment about the rudeness factor is trumped by the left side of the brain's logic. Just try it the next time "the barking dogs of life" begin to piss you off.
