I am an ALS patient doing voice banking - is there an automatic gain control on this headset?

Not sure which models you are referring to but get the best one you can afford. As your voice deteriorates you'll not have another chance at this. Make sure it has USB connection and not just audio jacks.

No but if you are banking with ModelTalker their reps will help you with the correct software settings.

If you do not have the "handset lifter" you have to pick the receiver up everytime. When I answer my phone at work, I have to turn on the headset and then lift the receiver. Hope this helps

Sorry, can't help in that regard, I only use it in a home setting.But I will comment that I'm in the process of getting a second replacement under warranty and have little confidence in the product. My Plantonics headset is over 10 years old and still functions, but isn't quite as accurate.

Get a an over-headset w/ mouthpiece from Staples, Amazon, etc & plug it into the hole in the side. Then you're hands-free to multi-task AND not cricking your neck! :)

the headset's volume is determined separately from the system, try hitting the mute on the remote to make sure the headset itself isnt muted

I have a profound hearing loss and wear BTE Aids. There is a volume control button on the Jitterbug Phone that enables enhanced hearing.

Siemens Touching digital is not fully programmable but allows some small adjustments. I have high frequency hearing loss but I can use it in conversations and listening to TV and telephone.

I have a Cisco phone that is built to interface with speakers. All I have to do is press on the speaker button on the phone and all the calls are routed to the headset. I can then answer by pressing the headset button. I recall having to change the program switch on the bottom of the Plantronics base station.

It depends on what your software is designed to do. I use speech recognition also and I don't hear myself speak through my headset while I'm talking.

Not only does this headset support voice dialing (assuming that your phone does also) but it will last-number redial too. The instructions in the manual are vague, but if you hold the control on the earpiece for just 2 seconds, it will connect. The headset control requires a firm press to activate its features and if you hold it too long, it may simply turn off. I'd prefer a confirmation beep or two so I know for sure what it's doing.

I believe there is a volume control on it or on the software that came with it. However, you can also use a headset with microphone which is what I do and that works excellent

There is a wheel to control of he volume and a button to mute as low ng as you are holding it. Headset works great for me.

There are three volume (gain) adjustments. One is inside the mic that you access by unscrewing the head. the second is on the back of the unit that requires a really small screw driver. The 3rd is the adjustment know on the receiver.

There are two ways to control volume. The blue tooth volume of device or there is a switch on the side of the Plantronics that cycles thru low to high in increments

hearing oneself or not is a pc setting, not a headset attribute. For example, under sound settings, Recording Tab, selecting Mic input rear channel, selecting properties; you would have a radio-dial selected to listen to mic or not (I hope that makes sense) using Windows 7.

The volume is adjusted on the device you are using. There isn't a separate volume controller.

I think you need to do it by the handset .i only notice the mute and volume on the headset.
