How can I correct this problem?


In the old tube-type radio days, 60-cycle hum could be mitigated by simply
turning the plug 180° in the socket. Today, it's tougher, what with
polorized plugs and sockets.

Of course one can cut off the polarizing wide parts of the plug, or
use a rubber cube tap, which is usually soft enough that one can force
the plug in the wrong way.
