The evidence suggests it is a problem with your ear. Perhaps you had an ear infection and something inside was damaged, maybe you were close to a very loud bang on one side and your eardrum was slightly damaged. Or you may just have one malformed canal/drum/cochlear. Start by using the balance control on your sound source.

When I was a teen I was using a qtip to clean my ear and accidentally jammed it into my eardrum and it was bleeding and hurt pretty bad. But that was when i was like 16 now am 22 do you think it could actually be from then?

That seems very likely, you may have damaged your eardrum and scar tissue has made it less sensitive.

Go to an audiologist and get your hearing tested. In the newer versions of EQ APO / Peace there's a hearing test you can do which may help some.

You can easily balance a headphone L/R using EQ but hearing damage can come in different flavors so all frequencies may not have the same issues which makes things trickier to balance properly, and it may be impossible to get perfect.

If you hear difference with headphones, you should also hear it without them. Listen to some noises and cover one ear.
