Yes. If, like me, you're cursed with serious hearing loss and you happen
to choose an inefficient pair of headphones with which to listen, this
control is useful.=20

Subject: [bookport] Loudest volume command
Hello all,
I've been meaning to ask a question, and after I accidentally did this
to myself again this morning, I thought I would post=20
about this issue.
My question concerns the "f for 1 beep" command to go to the loudest
volume. Do people actually use this? I ask=20
because I find that the only time I ever press this key is by accident,
which results in an unpleasantly loud burst of=20
speech. I understand why this command is there--it makes sense,
intuitively. But maybe a more useful (and less painful)=20
option might be to have the machine increase the volume by 5 or so
whenever "f for one beep" is pressed. This would=20
allow the user to quickly increase the volume, but it would save some
wear and tear on my poor ears. <grin>
Would something like this even be a possibility? And if it is, what
would people think?
Sorry if anyone gets great use out of this command. I just thought I
would post this suggestion here to see what others=20
think.
Angie
