 Why use Ergonomic Headsets in the Office? Loud and High pitched noises may cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing. This equipment is designed to offer protection against loud and high pitched noises and conforms to current regulation. However this equipment may not neccesarily provide you with complete protection. To reduce potential damage to your hearing that may be caused by loud or high pitched noise the output volume level must be set to the minimum level possible for your use. If your office is noisy, don't turn up your telephone or headset amplifier, volume control to compensate... Consider purchasing a Twin Earpiece GN 2115 Soundtube Binaural headset which will apply sound to each ear and help to block out the office noise, requiring a lot less volume level. Alternatively you should use our new headset amplifier which has an automatic volume control function that will prevent loud noises exceeding the volume level that you have previously set. Ergonomists agree that anyone who uses a keyboard or takes notes while talking on the telephone would benefit from the hands-free relief provided by a telephone headset. For these operators, the telephone headset should no longer be considered optional equipment, but should be an integral part of the workstation design. When you jam the telephone handset between your shoulder and your neck, you are compressing tissues and blood vessels and reducing blood flow. Over time, this can contribute to significant discomfort and ultimately a cumulative trauma disorder of the upper extremities. By using a telephone headset, correct posture can be maintained and neck and shoulder pain avoided. |
