i dont touch the panning knobs on my mixer but I use panning what do you mean

Well this is a complete guess, but the left hemisphere of the brain processes speech.

The way the human body works (left side of brain controls right side of body and vice versa) means that chances are you use your right ear more DJs will monitor with it more likely, on the phone even left handed people use their right ear (since the right ear is linked closer to the left side of the brain = speech) in a night club/gig probably cup your right ear to hear people, etc.

So maybe the right ear suffers a slight hearing loss due to this?

Total speculation, but it was based on a slight educated guess. Feel free to rip me to shreds.

You know, William Blake said... uh, nothing is lost. Nothing is lost and I... I really believe that, we only move on...

Ive seen this as well.... in some cases even pulling up a stereo image meter showing much more audio to the right (+1) then center or left.... This typically happens more so with the lower frequencies where im sure there is some phasing issues occuring.... either way all previous comments apply.... does get annoying though.

yep same here.

i can have a sound panned 10 left and then try it 10 right and it'll sound unequal in placement. i usually pan and phase sounds to the left. most of the time panning just doesn't sound right placed on the right.

I don't suffer from this, but when using my headphones + an external monitor to mix, I GREATLY prefer having my headphone on my left ear because I can focus on left ear input more than I can on right ear input which just seems to yield better results when I mix.

As a Registered Nurse, I've never heard or read about any differences, both anatomical or imagined (schizphrenia, etc), in right and left ears.

Given: a car with driver/listener on left side of vehicle plus one stereo signal, broadcast quadraphonically (front and rear speakers).

I submit that phase cancellation is occurring in the middle of the stereo field causing a loss of hearing in the right ear. Where the left ear is concerned it is subject to more sound, emanating from a location further from the center of the stereo field.

you could just have an epic wax build-up in your ear. this happened to me. the sound from my left ear would constantly come in and out ligtly

Or hearing loss, broken speaker, electrical problem (i.e. broken pan potentiometer).
