Another useful reason for using low tones is if you are running SO3R and
need to listen to two radios in one ear. You can set one radio to high tones
and one to low tones and be able to determine which radio the tones are
coming from. Takes a little bit of practice but it can be done.

However, efficient SO2R is better than inefficient SO3R!

My primary reason for using low tones is that they are less stressful to
listen to and much less fatiguing over a long contest period.

For the same reason (less fatigue), I reduce the headphone level because all
my ears need to know is the presence or absence of a signal.  This also
makes it more practical to disable AGC in RTTY mode because there is less
danger in loud signals hurting one's ears.
