Bob, et al

I feel like a broken record, but I just cant listen at 83, or even 77 - in fact my ratshack spl meter indicates I've taken 20dB off by the time I get to a level my ears can handle. My dilemma is that I feel I need to listen at this level for my health, but the discussion here would indicate my mixes/mastering will be less than optimum. What's the way round this?

cheers
