[comp.dcom.telecom] Loud Signal Tones vrs. Your Ears

eli@pws.bull.com (Steve Elias) (03/20/90)

To all of you who think that it is not possible to have ear discomfort
as a result of the telephone -- you obviously never been on the line
when my Mum is talking.  The pain can be quite real if we're on
extensions in the same house...  Even on a long distance call, 116 db
of my Mum's voice seems to get through somehow (with US Sprint, of
course.)  Who needs speakerphones when you've got 116 db blasting out
of the headset? :)
