Ergonomists agree that anyone who uses the phone for an extended period of time or needs their hands free to type or take notes while on the telephone would benefit greatly from the relief provided by a telephone headset. For many people, the telephone headset should be considered an essential 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.

Experts agree that using a headset substantially improves productivity and overall call volume while reducing phone-related employee downtime and physical discomfort. A three-month study of 62 office workers conducted by the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in California showed that headsets reduced neck, shoulder and upper back muscular tension by up to 41%.

Like a handset, a headset consists of a receiver (speaker) that lets you hear the person at the other end of the conversation, and a transmitter (microphone) that converts your voice into electrical impulses to be transmitted to the other person.

It is durable, lightweight and designed for moderately noisy environments. ADDCOM headsets also provide users with additional protection to reduce the risk of acoustic shock.
