Headset Solutions for the Healthcare Industry

Lexair provides headsets and accessories for many types of healthcare providers. We assist our customers in choosing the correct headset for their specific needs while pointing out various options.

Once we learn how the customer wants to use the headset, it becomes much clearer as to what we will recommend.

  • What type of application will they be using the device for?
  • Is the background noise level loud or minimal?
  • Is phone use all day intensive or minimal?
  • What is the customer connecting the headset to? Desk phone, PC and/or mobile device?
  • Does the customer require noise-canceling microphones?
  • Will the customer require noise-canceling speakers?
  • What wearing styles would better fit their circumstance? Over-the-Head, Behind-the-Head, Over-the-Ear or a headset with multiple wearing styles all-in-one?
  • What is the customer’s preferred headset option – Wireless, or corded hands-free?
  • Would a headset that can be answered and ended away from the desk be more valuable so as not to miss any calls?

As we understand the needs and preferences of each department, we can better understand and assist our customers with the right equipment for them.

There are three key elements the customer needs to define:

Connectivity requirements – Desk Phone, PC or Mobile Device.

Wearing style – Over-the-Head, Over-the Ear, or Multiple wearing options.

Single ear or Dual ear models.

HEADSETS FOR PHYSICIANS

Whether in private practice or working primarily in a hospital or clinic, doctors spend their busy day between attending to patients, researching or consulting on cases, and making inquiries and calls regarding medications. Writing and typing can be greatly enhanced by using a headset which frees up the hands to work rather than cradling a phone handset between your shoulder and neck which can cause neck and shoulder strain and pain.

Suggestions:   Voyager Focus 2-Dual Ear Voyager 4245 Convertible Headset

1)  Consider a headset that fits over-the-head with dual ear pads for better focus and is more secure.

2)  For face-to-face calls, a headset that is worn over-the-ear would be lighter and create a lower profile.
