I have a question. We read about fiberoptics being an answer. The phone co does not seperate wi-fi signals from dsl So, we're feeling wi-fi on our phone lines. Would it ease some of the sensitivity we feel changing to fiberoptic hook up coming into the house? If you did if you have older electric does it matter? I don't know if fiberoptics would bother our older wiring, that needs updating. Another thing. Why do I feel less talking on the phone w those who have their phone service w a cable TV provider that strictly uses fiberoptics? I feel blown away talking to anyone w the phone co? Is it that they don't use an attenuator or something else? Kathy [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

We had one person who felt worse when wired up with fiber optics. I don't think it was the fiber optics itself that was causing the problem, but the "black box" that was installed in the house that converted the signal back into something "normal" that could be used in the house. > Another thing.

Don't know... you'd think that it would not matter what the other person was using, just what you are using. Marc |
Marc said: Don't know... you'd think that it would not matter what the other person was using, just what you are using. I remember catherine from the yahoo site mentioned acoustic effects. Its been awhile but she basically said there were those who could be effected, talking on their landline phones, if they were talking to someone else who was on a cell phone. This has something to do with acoustics, but I'm not quite sure how it works. I do know that I used to get a slight head ache if I talked to someone using a cell phone. I don't feel it anymore though. Lizzie To: [hidden email] From: [hidden email] Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2012 20:15:11 -0700 Subject: Re: [eSens] Questions > I have a question.

Yes, that's true -- people with ES can be sensitive to all sorts of things that aren't necessarily what we think of as being "EMF". I have an MP3 player, and I discovered that if I encoded my music using one method, it would bother me. However, if I encoded the same music using another method, it did not bother me. I think someone once labelled this phenomenon as "aural fatigue", and is something that can happen when you listen to compressed music. And if anyone is interested in the details for my particular case, I was bothered by variable-bit-rate encoding (VBR), but NOT bothered by constant-bit-rate encoding or average-bit-rate encoding (ABR). Of course, I think most of the music that people download from iTunes, Amazon, etc. is VBR, which is the kind that I found to be the most bothersome! Marc |

No, I don't want that black box here, so we won't get that. I noticed the difference of feeling less when talking to someone that uses a phone w fiberoptics vs. someone who uses the phone co. signal.

That's really interesting about the being bothered by variable bit rate encoding. Would this technology be similiar to variable speed motors, which ES people also report difficulties with?
