[quote=Anonymous]I am someone who tends to talk louder then necessary on the phone. I have a voice that people seem to struggle to hear, and I actually do have some hearing loss though I'm only 42, so I instinctively raise my voice and over-enunciate on the phone both to avoid confusion and because I am having trouble hearing them and I speak up almost to encourage them to do the same. Though I generally step away form others in order to talk on the phone. It can be hard at kid events though. A few times at swim meets, I've gotten an urgent call (like: insurance claims adjuster I've been trying to reach all day suddenly calls) just as my kid is starting a heat. I try to keep it short and be aware of my voice, but also if my kid looks up and I'm not there, she will be upset. This is a very rare occurrence though. Usually I can send the call to voicemail or step away.[/quote]
