I&#39;ve managed to hurt my ears twice over the past two days when using PD w/ headphones.  Even at lowest system volumes, it seems that Terrible Things can happen.  Are there any precautions that I can take to make it feel less like I&#39;m taking my life into my hands when I have to use headphones?<br>
