LPT If you cannot hear someone on the phone, start talking quieter.
LPT If you cannot hear someone on the phone, start talking quieter. Generally when we cannot hear someone on the phone, our reaction is to talk louder, which in turn just makes the other person talk even quieter (I am not sure why this is, but in my experience it is 100% true). If you instead start talking quieter, and make the other person strain to hear you, they will start talking louder.
