I have a little hearing damage. Mine is more of a problem of each ear has different frequency deficiencies. My left ear doesn't hear low frequencies as well as my right ear. My right ear doesn't hear higher frequencies as well as my left ear. I don't know whether my ear canals are shaped differently, or if it's damage from years of playing in bands. I use some of the same techniques as you. I also use frequency analyzers (not Sonar's) to see if what I'm hearing is being visually represented on the analyzer. I also solo the left and right channels, and listen with each ear facing each monitor individually. I also listen to the mix in mono. That's about all I can think of at the moment. I'll chime back in if I think of anything else.
I have the same thing and I don't know if it's hearing damage (I blasted my ear drums for a lot of years) or just natural quirks. For instance, my eyes see slightly different colors. I have one ear that hears bass better, and another which hears treble better. I think the most important thing with any audio deficiency whether it be your ears or the room, is to use reference material constantly.
My biggest problem is tinnitus. Almost everyone I know of my age (early 40's) has it to some degree. We screwed our ears from playing in bands, clubbing and raving. I have very high frequency hissing that's extremely noticeable when listening to quiet passages of music. It's kind of a bummer but I'm fine with it at this point, totally used to it.
