Hearing problems. Easier to listen with both ears.

Could be worse, they could speak into the part you stick to your ear

Imagine being so superficial that this represents a real concern

I have to do this when my grandma calls. Not because I have loudspeaker mode on, but because SHE has, but still talks with it against her face so she comes out extremely loudly on my end.

If it's loud enough, I'll put my phone on speaker and still hold it normally, because the regular speaker on my phone fucking sucks and I can never hear shit.

It's a bit harder when you started your relationship before smartphones (yes there are people that old)

I keep telling my wife not to do that and just talk normally because the microphone is designed for that ... instead, when I call her, I know she's holding the phone like this because it sounds like someone is shouting at me.

How do I use the phone and microphone to talk to people on my smartphone? ... simple ... I don't, ever.
