Yet another possibility is that if you are using low impedance headphones,
you need to add some attenuation. I have a rather severe hearing loss and
still need to add in the range of 200 to 400 ohms in series with my low
impedance headphones. I just put 1/4 watt resistors in the phone plug.
The ideal situation as I see it is to have sufficient headphone attenuation
such that when operating the receiver at a volume level near distortion, the
sound in the headphones is just at the edge of being uncomfortably loud.
This will reduce low level audio noise and as a bonus, will prevent
dangerously loud audio blast.
