I've always found the Optacon buzz a major distraction even to myself and certainly hate hearing others use one. I did have people complain in one job but luckily I was in an office of my own so just had to shut the doro when I used it. I always hoped one could be developed without the buzz but if it can't so be it. I would still use it if mine were alive. I do have contact details for getting it looked at but need to look at cost since it has to go out of New Zealand. Cheers Paula.
