Telephones

My cat "finished off" my phone headset. So, of necessity, for the past
few days, I have been using the handset on my left ear primarily. Wow!
What sort of symptoms might one get from doing that? This is a land line,
by the way. Josie

Sharp pain in the head, perhaps? Head pressure? Brain fog?

I have taken to modifying speakerphones by taking out the microphone and
attaching it to a longish wire providing the speaker phone is of good quality it
works for me and ussually the person on the other end.

If I use the handset I get all of above symptoms within 2mins, often
strangely enough on opposite side of head to handset ??!!

Hi. I've written about this before, but I'll just mention it again. I
*cannot* talk on a normal telephone for more than a few minutes without extreme
agitation/insomnia. I have a Polyphone conference phone (made by US company,
but I'm sure available worldwide) that I use. It's the kind you see (shaped
like a triangle) in most corporate settings.
Here's the difference:
It has something called dual duplex technology (most speakerphones are
single duplex), that allows you to talk on it without the other party knowing
you are using a speakerphone unless you tell them. Single duplex (speakerphones
for other than professional use) "cut" in and out when it goes from you
talking to the other person talking. I'm not explaining it right but that's why
conversations on them sound choppy.
I have NO affiliation with Polyphone, they are just considered very good
(probably best), I would bet other companies also make conference phones with
dual duplex technology, so you could search for what works best for you.
Also, re: Polyphone, if you look into this, really search because I was
able to get mine at a big discount off usual retail price. You have to do a
lot of comparison shopping.
Good luck : ) Stephanie p.s. of course I use my cell phone on speaker
only. Cell phones put out energy in the microwave range (so says a scientist
friend of mine).

sorry guys. I mistyped. It's polycom, not polyphone. Stephanie
