                       There are several topics in the Cross Dominance section which are not merely applicable to cross dominance, but are applicable to other conditions as well. One example is the section entitled Hyperacusis, Recruitment, and Hyperacute Hearing. Although this section was included on the Cross Dominance page, people without cross dominance have hyperacute hearing.

Even if you don't have cross dominance, or if you don't believe that cross dominance is causing problems, there may be useful information on the Cross Dominance page.
