I would buy a different sound card with better ASIO drivers. Get a firewire-based interface with 24-bit/96 kHz converters.

You can mix on headphones but even with monitors you can damage your hearing. Keep the monitor level lower and your ears will adjust. If you find that you keep turning up the volume, it's time to take a break. You should get some monitors, too.

Yep, a new soundcard would be nice... forget headphones for monitoring, it's hard to control the bass frequencies with them. Also, volume isn't the key ;-)
