How many times has it happened that you miss you call on the cell phone because you cannot hear it due to the surrounding noise. Well, help may soon be at hand, for researchers have developed a phone that rings as loud as an electric drill to help you hear in noisy workplaces.

The 83 decibels phone (Noisyphone) rings as loud as an electric drill and is very effective in noisy workplaces. Researchers said that the ear-splitting ring is twice the level of a normal phone.

This apart, the phone also has a bright red flashing light that alerts users to an incoming call. The caller’s voice is also louder than on normal phones.

The makers of the Noisyphone have claimed that elderly people, who may be hard of hearing, will now never miss another call and can enjoy an audible conversation more comfortably, reports The Mirror.

Priced at 89.95 pounds, the landline phone has a one-inch wide dialling buttons and a speed-dial keypad designed to hold photographs of a family member or friend. By simply pressing one of the pictured key buttons, the user is in direct contact with that person within seconds.

The phone also has three special emergency buttons that can be programmed for numbers such as 999, an on-call doctor and a neighbour or relative.
