Default Sensifivity of 2000-ohm Headphones

I am writing a program involving an antenna plus two coupled tuned circuits
plus a matched simple receiver.

I would like to know, crudely, the audio power input level to 2000-ohm, iron
diaphragm headphones for a nice, comfortable, not too difficult listening
level. Such as when the phones are used on a crystal and cat's whisker
radio receiver.

Such headphones are more sensitive than modern 8-ohm varieties. I have a
pair of 2000-ohm headphones but unfortunately no means of measuring power or
voltage input.

Just the number of micro-watts please. At what low power input level does
speech or music just BEGIN to fade out to a person of normal hearing? Any
ideas? I could take the average of a few replies.
