Telephone

• Headsets are the optimum type of phone for people with RSI
• Cordless models stop you cradling the phone, and you can change your position regularly
• Use speaker phones. However, these have the disadvantage of a lack of privacy, and the reduction of sound quality. 
• Keypads which are easy-touch models are much better than ordinary touch-dial phones
• Alternatively you can use a pencil to operate an ordinary touch-dial phone
• Automatic or voice-activated dialling devices can be purchased
• Remember to use your phone’s memory!
• Get a hands-free set for your mobile – that way you can put the mobile in a bag or pocket and still talk

Note: Discount prices for the above are available through your telephone company’s disabilities service, which covers RSI sufferers.
