 Ergonomists
agree that anyone who uses a keyboard or takes notes while talking
on the telephone would benefit from the hands-free relief provided
be a telephone headset. For these workers, the telephone headset
should no longer be considered optional equipment, but should be
an integral part of the workstation design.
When you crunch the telephone
handset against your shoulder and your neck, you are compressing
tissues and blood vessels and reducing blood flow. This, over
time, can contribute to significant discomfort and ultimately a
cumulative trauma disorder of the upper extremities. By using a
telephone headset, a correct posture can be maintained and neck
and shoulder pain avoided.
