Performance gets noticeably better when you add the additional filters.

No fix available, but your ears quickly get used to the MONI tone. Two
alternatives:
1. Spot by transmitting with RF PWR turned all the way down
2. Put a dummy load on Ant B and choose Ant B for spotting (just
hit the paddle with MONI on, then press A/B again).

You are not going deaf, mine sounds the same. Most people never
notice it. The left headphone definitely gets a little more volume
than the right. Choosing Stereo 1, Stereo 2, or Mono makes no
difference if you are using stereo headphones. It may be difficult
for us to convince Yaesu that this problem is worth fixing. But it
IS a problem.

Lettering upside down is correct choice. That is, the lettering
orientation should match the orientation on the big SubRx board.
Does your S-meter jump to full scale when you select 500 Hz?
Sometimes this problem can be fixed by reversing one or more
filters, but not always.
