First, try unplugging the headphone jack from the logic board and plugging it back in. If that doesn’t work, replace the headphone jack. iPod 5th Generation (Video) Headphone Jack & Hold Switch Replacement

Of course, you could damage the iPod more while attempting a repair, so if you’re not 100% confident, get used to pausing your music after you unplug your headphones, which is probably what I would do, to be on the safe side.

I agree, if you are not 100% confident in handling delicate ribbon cables then please do not do this yourself. These particular ribbon cables tear incredibly easy and are not easy to remove.
