I recorded my voice and used Noise Removal to reduce the background noise, but i can still hear some hissing in my voice. I've tried Noise Removal different ways, but the hissing is still there. Are there any other tools or options available to remove the hissing? Thanks.

Probably not. The two options for noise removal are to try to remove the noise from everything which makes your voice sound like a martian with a head cold, or cleverly turn off noise reduction during the time your voice is present which leaves you with a hissy voice.
Hiss is very bad. Noise reduction works best on sounds your mouth can't make. NR would not be able to tell the difference between the microphone hiss and your lips making a hiss sound.
Most people try to recover shows when they should be investigating why their recording failed.
What was your microphone? How did you have it connected and to what? You're already on Audacity 1.3, so make sure you're on 1.3.13, and not an earlier version. We might be able to talk you through not having hiss in the first place.
