that kinda depends on what kind of mp3 paler your using. if its a cell phone with a built in mp3, then its just a matter of compatibility. if you notice the bands on a headphone plug, their are 2 at the bottom, one for each ear. on a cellphone mp3, it has 3 bands, ear 1, ear 2 and mic. the middle band in a cellphone is for a mic so the left ear will be disabled because of the difference in path of electronic signals. if you want to solve this, you need to purchase headphones that are made by the cellphone manufacturer or a 3rd party pair that specifies compatibility with your cell phone. this just another capitalist scheme to get you to buy their products. if your just using a regular mp3 such as an iPod or zune, then it usually means damaged internal wires. this also requires new headphones.
You have 3 possibilities: 1) the headphone plug isn't inserted all the way (some cases can interfere with plugs), 2) the headphones are broken, or 3) the player's headphone jack is broken. For 1), try removing the case, and check that the plug is in all the way. For 2) and 3), find or borrow another set of headphones and see if they make the problem go away. If they work, then your old headphones are broken and need to be repaired or replaced. If you change headphones and the problem still occurs, then the jack is broken and needs to be repaired or replaced.

What causes you to hear sound?
How the Ear Works The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle and inner ear. The outer ear (the part you can see) opens into the ear canal. The eardrum separates the ear canal from the middle ear. Small bones in the middle ear help transfer sound to the inner ear. The inner ear contains the auditory (hearing) nerve, which leads to the brain. Any source of sound sends vibrations or sound waves into the air. These funnel through the ear opening, down the ear, canal, and strike your eardrum, causing it to vibrate. The vibrations are passed to the small bones of the middle ear, which transmit them to the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Here, the vibrations become nerve impulses and go directly to the brain, which interprets the impulses as sound (music, voice, a car horn, etc.). www.entnet.org/healthinfo/ears/ear.cfm
