  If the phone the scum is using is high quality enough, it could cause a 
certain amount of temporary deafness... Too often, though, cheap phones and
distant connections muffle the sound a great deal. At most he'd be annoyed.
 
  From what the original poster said, it sounds like someone in the phone
company, possibly a repairman who links into the system at whatever telephone
pole or cable node he happens to be at... 
  What sort of situation would make it so impossible to get an unlisted number?
It must be something pretty important or serious to not want to take about the
only other option available to stop such a persistant person...
