Abstract: An output reducing system for a telephone system, e.g., implemented in a headset, includes an input line and an output line, wherein the input line transmits an incoming signal to an output transducer and the output line transmits an outgoing signal from an input transducer, and a compressor system is provided in the input line for reducing the output signal level.

Abstract: This invention relates to a headset (10, 100) for communicating with a communication device (16, 18, 20). The headset (10, 100) comprises an input section (102) converting a sound to a first signal; a processing section (104) processing said first signal and transmitting a first processed signal to the communication device (16, 18, 20), and receiving a second signal from said communication device (16, 18, 20) and processing said second signal into a second processed signal. The processing section (104) comprises an adaptation means determining environmental data from the first and/or second signal and selecting a signal processing setting for the processing section (104) in accordance with the environmental data.

Abstract: The invention relates to an output reducing system for a telephone system, e.g. implemented in a headset, comprising an input line and an output line, where the input line is transmitting an incoming signal to an output transducer and where the output line in transmitting an outgoing signal from an input transducer, where it connection with the input line a compressor system is provided for reducing the output signal level.
