You Need a Phone Headset if You
- Use the phone often during daily work (1 hour or more a day)
- Have a position where frequent or long phone calls are a requirement
- Cradle the phone while talking so that you can use your hands to write or type
- The phone cannot be located within an easy arm’s reach
Why are They Necessary?
- When the “handsfree” option cannot be used in certain situations
- Such sustained and frequent non-neutral postures can create muscle fatigue and discomfort
- Helps to eliminate the need for holding the phone up to the ear or tilting the head to the side to cradle the phone between head and shoulder
- When the phone is located farther away, a repeated extreme reach is created
Where Should it Be Located?
- The base unit and phone should be as close to the user as possible (less than 24 inches) while the headset is on your head
Which One Should I Get?
- If there is no need to use your phone away from your desk, then a corded headset will work
- If you are often away from your desk, a mobile/cordless headset will work
- If you are often away from your desk and need to transfer calls, a mobile/cordless keypad based headset system (with line management capabilities) will work
