Pl. "Rhonda was especially nice, and did not snap at me when I was short with her upon learning that I would have to wait another week for phone service that I had requested a month in advance due to the Ameritech technician's doorbell phobia. Mr. Ameritech, you have trained your staff to take abuse for you, and this to me seems inhuman. I apologized, as I knew the aforementioned technician with the aversion towards unfamiliar doorbells was not Rhonda's birth defect, and I asked if she could transfer me to someone else I could yell at, perhaps some human ear that you, Ameritech, had hired for the purpose of listening to me rant about why I hate you, Ameritech. She said, "you can yell at me", in a matter of fact and strangely submissive tone, as there was no such ear to listen besides her own, but it wasn't Rhonda who needed chiding, it was you, Al Ameritech."

People with anxiety and phobias may not talk about these feelings, even with family or close friends. Even so, it is usually obvious that things are not right. The sufferer will tend to look pale and tense, and may be easily startled by normal sounds such as a door-bell ringing or a car's horn.

I think this sounds a bit more natural in English. See for example

Or, better still, "fear of **the** knock on the door" -- makes it sound more ominous
