The maximum output level from the ringer should provide good audibility even in domestic environments where acoustic absorption may be high. A means of controlling this output will then be necessary. Only with the more severe forms of hearing loss should it be necessary to utilise separate high volume ringing devices or visual signallers.

Additional cost - low
