  • Patent number: 9503804
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a headset with a Bluetooth device comprising an ear loud speaker (3) with connection means (4) for connection to a detachable ear unit (5, 5a, 5b). The Bluetooth device is equipped with an extra microphone (14) for receiving ambient sound, the microphone is provided with a sound attenuator (15). The invention also refers to an ear unit (5) for an ear loud speaker (3) of a Blue-tooth device. The ear unit (5) being adapted to be fixed onto the ear loud speaker (3) and to be inserted in the user's ear. According to the invention the ear unit (5) is made to be inserted in the auditory canal of the ear and to abut tightly against the auditory canal. The ear unit (5) has a through bore (6) which, when the ear unit (5) is inserted into the auditory canal, extends in the length direction of the auditory canal. The bore (6) is equipped with handle means (1 1, 13) for shape conformed fixation to the ear loud speaker (3).

  • Patent number: 8442238
    Abstract: A device in a headset having a throat microphone and ear speakers soundproofing against the auditory meatus. The device has a separate microphone connected to the ear speaker for picking up the sound of the surroundings that is transmitted to the car speaker. Furthermore, noise-suppressing means are included, which limit the sound level of the sound of the surroundings. The throat microphone communicates via a communication unit. The soundproofing ear speaker and the microphone are arranged so that the headset can be housed in a safety helmet.

  • Patent number: 7639824
    Abstract: The invention relates to a noise damping headset comprising at least one microphone and at least one ear phone intended to be connected via electrical conduits, preferably wires, to a transmitter and a receiver, preferably a mobile telephone, a communication radio or the like for communication between persons. The microphone consists of throat microphone for direct or indirect contact against the skin around a throat, the equipment mainly being sound tightening for sounds, coming from outside, from emerging into the throat microphone and the ear phone comprises a funnel-shape for inserting the same into the auditory canal of a person's ear, the outer limiting surfaces of the funnel-shape being sound tightening against the walls of the auditory canal, the sound coming from outside being prevented from emerging into the auditory canal, whereby a communication between said persons can be held without being disturbed in a greater extent of the sound coming from outside.
