We've encountered this problem in the past. AT&T sells special
handsets for high ambient noise level areas. They also have PTT
(Push-To-Talk) handsets.

These worked well with our AT&T phone system. They also provide
super-loud ringers and strobe-light ringer attachements. All of this
is a bit pricey, but in a commercial computer center, you don't need
the headache of bad communications or missed phone calls.
