This is the way the ear determines direction of a sound in the distance.  If the sound arrives at the right ear first, then the sound source is determined to be from the right.   Likewise for sound arriving to the left ear first, the source is to the left.

Exactly right, Bob. Indeed, TIME difference between sound arrival at the two ears is the primary determinant of the direction of a sound. It is FAR more important than loudness. This is the basis of the best of the stereo sound patents, by Bell Labs c.a. 1936. It depends on spaced microphones and spaced loudspeakers.
