It is also important to purchase the right headphone which offers maximum physical comfort. I find that most headphones (even from popular brands) press on your ears too hard. Finally, reduce the base affect if your computer has this feature.
The only other alternative is to invest in an electronic refreshable braille display.

Not only that Geetha: I have to make sure I hear everything clearly, because I edit documents and if I don't hear it properly, I would make mistakes. Also, newspaper offices are a bit louder and noisier than other work places, so keeping lower volumes in speakers won't help at all in most cases. But, the only protection (which I assume would help) is to cover the ear fully with cotton and then use headphones (at a very minimum volume) over it. This has been helpful, but of-late I am getting more pain around my neck and inside the ear.

Try using flat earphones that cover the outer part of the ear rather than ear buds that go into the ear. I avoid ear buds, and my ears have never hurt from using headphones. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Subramani L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 2:44 PM Subject: Re: [AI] the Internet becomes accessible! > Dear Amiyo: > > So, that's how you work in office is it?- without ear phones?
