Abstract: An infant monitoring system contains a removable ear insert. The ear insert receives an audible parameter from an infant in an infant's room and provides the parameter to a parent monitoring device in a parents' room. The parent monitoring device comprises the removable ear insert, whereby only the wearer of the insert is alerted to the audible parameter, without disturbing others nearby the wearer. Individuals near the wearer are not exposed to, or otherwise made aware of, the audible parameter, thereby providing an audio stimulus that is personal to the wearer of the insert. Preferably, the ear insert is comfortably inserted into and worn within the ear of the wearer for use in conjunction with the infant monitoring system, whereby non-wearers of the ear insert remain undisturbed.
