Since there is no option from the menu that could give you audio both on speakers and headphones, there is one solution with some external connections but you must be able to buy and connect 2 resistors and headphone jack. The cost for these parts won't be much. Are you able to get these at your area? Also are you able to use soldering tool?
Sorry for the questions but I can't suggest you something that can't make it. In case you can locate things like these at your area, post me back to give you further details and parts details also.
In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, accept my solution.
Thanks and regards

This is the best solution, I thought you already have tried this and there was no option at the menu. Anyway I'm glad you have solved your problem.
Best wishes for Christmas and New Year's eve.

The switch between the speakers and the headphones is controlled by a small mechanical switch from the headphones socket. To have them both active all you need to do is to open the receiver and rewire the socket, bypassing the switch - an easy 15 minute job if you know what you're doing. But you need some experience in electronics to do it so it will be better for you to take it to your local repair shop - they shouldn't be asking you more than $75 for that.

Isn't there a way to pass the sound to the tv as well as the speakers?
I do not know how to wire up diodes and jacks. In the meantime, I contacted Yamaha and they wrote back with a solution. There is a setting in the audio output menu that I just had to turn on and the sound now goes to both the receiver and the tv and from the tv, I can use my headphones. Now I can turn the headphones up to where I can hear and my wife can turn the receiver down to where she is comfortable so all is well...
Thanks for your response though.
Merry Christmas
