Low volume because me and my gf can't listen to US volume any higher than that. I believe I recall instructions somewhere saying to just listen to what's a comfortable level for US, that is it. It bleeds our ears any higher than that to be honest. (I really don't get how you guys can listen to 14/16 volume so loudly)
I can't listen to hybrid or masked loudly, because I find that to be annoying. I listen exclusively to US, because unlike you (which if I recall from our days on Pherotruth, you are much younger than me), I can't hear US at all at any volume (unless I put the speaker directly next to my ear).
Volume is definitely correlated to how you're affected. I know that @Shannon has done many tests where even low volumes have had great impact from varied distances.
Does the US track hurt your ears even if the phone speaker isn't aimed directly at your head? Anyway, I'd try switching to US and pushing the volume as much as possible. Unless, that is, you want to try to push the volume on hybrid.
