Interesting to run across this topic because I have thought in the past couple of months that there was something wrong with the ring volume on my phone.  I keep checking to see if the volume is all the way up, and it is, but I can't seem to hear it as well.  Was thinking about getting a new phone, but now I am beginning to think the hearing in the AN ear is acting up.  Just a thought.  I always put my phone on speaker when I am talking, otherwise it is just too much of a strain to hear what people are saying.  And, I don't glue that cell phone to my ear--too many people missing out on face to face conversations these days.  But, still the cell phone is a great invention if everyone can get past the cell phone/brain tumor debate.

I got the new iPhone and I love it, but I can't figure out how to get the volume to stay at the higest setting - it keeps going back to the middle.  It does vibrate though...

My wife has the cell phone in our family.  I use it for occasional out-of-town calls, including my doctor.  It's a Nokia that she was given (for free) when we signed up for AT&T cell phone service.  I hear it ring just fine and have no trouble using it, either, so maybe the ringer is extra-loud or something.  In any case, it works for me.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I have 2... personal is an LG with a terrific speakerphone on it (with my hearing, I tend to use the speakerphone on my mobiles to help with my hearing....)..... and  my work mobile is a Sanyo Kantara (I think that is the model name)... again, with good speaker phone.
