Health Benefits of Headsets
Wearing a headset is not only comfortable and convenient, it is good for your posture and, more importantly, good for your health.
Cradling a conventional handset between ear and shoulder is a major source of back and neck pain as it puts the muscles under unnatural strain and stress. This is a common complaint among telephone and mobile phone users.
Moreover, the problems it causes are one of the main reasons for employees being off work through ill-health, a situation which, according to a recent survey costs businesses an average of £600 per employee every year.
But studies have shown that wearing a headset can help alleviate these problems.
Studies demonstrate that using a headset can significantly reduce muscle tension of the kind that leads to muscle strain and chronic pain.
Medical experts have established that lateral bending of the neck, the position commonly assumed to hold a phone when the hands are occupied with writing or typing, is the most stressful of any neck movement.
Elizabeth Simpson, a practising physiotherapist, said: "The use of telephone headsets can reduce neck pain, back pain and headaches in subjects who use the phone and computer simultaneously for a minimum of two hours a day.
