Left handed, cue mostly in my left ear but there's been a few occasions where the setup I was playing on had the monitor only on the left side so I cued with my right ear. I guess that makes me aurally ambidextrous?

Left handed, cue with left ear, right ear for monitors if available... otherwise I stick on a Clubland CD....

Ambidextrous, and I use both ears equally, unless the monitoring situation calls for a change (i.e., good/cleaner monitor on right side, so I left ear cue). But generally when I'm cueing left deck, it's on left ear, right deck, right ear. back and forth... that's my habit I guess. I don't really think about it much, I just started doing it. I think at one point I realized that my cue ear was getting more fatigued so I started to switch it up to give them a rest.
I also keep my cue volume much lower than I used to. I'm super anal about my hearing now that I have a tiny bit of tinnitus.

Similar, I favour right ear... usually when I hit play ill put use the headphones with both ears ( I always have master through headphones) A friend of mine and I often pay back to back and he likes the cue signal mono with only cued track in ear, so it routine for us both when changing out, flick the stereo/ mono switch and hit master cue.

Actually I can DJ dubstep on real vinyl with no headphones. Beat that! ;P
