Abstract: An adjustable earphone with a microphone has a hook, a speaker, and a microphone, in which the hook is used for comfortably mounting the earphone on a user's ear. The speaker is mounted in a speaker chamber that connects to the hook by an outrigger wherein the speaker can be firmly fixed on the user's exterior acoustic meatus. The microphone is mounted in a microphone chamber that connects to the hook by a boom, and the microphone chamber can be fixed near the user's mouth. A speaker signal-wire used for transmitting the signal extends from the speaker chamber, passes through the hook, and then couples to the audio signal manager. A microphone signal-wire used for transmitting the signals extends from the microphone chamber, passes by the boom, and then couples to the audio signal manager.

Abstract: A wearable personal audio apparatus includes one or more wearable U-shaped loop members adapted to fit an individual in a plurality of positions on the individual's body, particularly around the head and neck. The plurality of positions can include positions across the forehead, top or back of the head of the individual, and around the front or back of the neck of the individual. The loop member can have an eyewear receiving member which selectively receives an eyewear insert to provide protective or corrective eyewear when the loop member is worn on the front of the head of the wearer. In one embodiment, a plurality of sets of quick-connect interface ports are disposed around the loop member to selectively receive a plurality of external audio transducer modules. The quick-connect interface ports provide a respective communication path between each of the external audio transducer modules and an audio circuit which can be either external to the loop member or contained within the loop member.

Abstract: Communication system for users of hearing aids in connection with the use of a mobile telephone (1), and where the hearing aid user (5) wears at least one hearing aid (4). The system comprises a headset (3) coupled to the mobile telephone, said headset comprising a microphone (6) and a tele-coil (10) for communication with the hearing aid.It is hereby avoided that electrical or electromagnetic noise from the mobile telephone penetrates the hearing aid.

Abstract: A headset, and a method for using a headset, to communicate with two separate devices. The headset comprises a mounting member for mounting and holding the headset on the head of a wearer, at least a first speaker, and means for connecting the speaker to the mounting member for holding the speaker adjacent an ear of the wearer. The headset further comprises first and second microphones, and a boom member connecting the microphones to the mounting member for holding the microphones adjacent the mouth of the wearer. A signal conducting circuit is provided for transmitting input communication signals from at least the first device to the first speaker, and for transmitting output communications from the first and second microphones to the first and second devices respectively.

Abstract: A sound collector which enables users to easily hear a sound from the front of the user's head when mounted on the user's head. The sound collector includes right and left hunger blocks provided at the ends of a headband to be mounted on the user's head, right and left microphone units for collecting an external sound, right and left loud speaker units supported on the right and the left hunger blocks for multiplying the external sound collected by the right and the left microphone units and emitting the amplified sound, and a power source block.

Abstract: The invention relates to a headset (1) for a hearing protector provided with a padding part (12) having an essentially elliptical ear opening (18). The headset comprises a microphone (2), an earphone (3), and conducting wires (7) for bringing signals to the earphone (3) and from the microphone (2). According to the invention the earphone (3) is attached to a bow part (10) whose contour essentially follows the external dimensions of the hearing protector padding (12), and a mounting wing (13, 4) is connected to the bow part (10) or the earphone (3) and has a maximum dimension (A) which is smaller than the maximum dimension of the ear opening (18) and yet greater than the minimum dimension (B) of the ear opening (18), and during use the maximum dimension of the mounting wing (13, 4) is essentially horizontal.

Abstract: A communications headset has an earpiece housing that rests on top of the ear and which also has a receiver assembly coupled to the earpiece housing. The receiver assembly is rotatable between a position at which the receiver assembly is against the ear and a position at which the receiver assembly is rotated away from the ear, thereby allowing a user of the headset to wear the headset comfortably even at times when the headset is not in use for communication. The receiver assembly is biased toward the ear, thereby acoustically coupling the receiver assembly reliably and snugly to the ear when the receiver assembly is at the position against the ear. When the receiver assembly is at the position rotated away from the ear, the receiver assembly is held securely in that position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sound guide (5) in a speech communicator, for example a land mobile radio, a walkie talkie, a cordless telephone or a mobile telephone (1). To achieve good sound quality in such a telephone, a cover (3) is often used which reflects the speech in towards the microphone (6) in the body (2) of the telephone. By arranging an air tunnel as a sound guide (5) on the flip-cover and letting it conduct to the body of the telephone and the microphone, the sound quality is improved substantially. In order to avoid uneven frequency response which inevitably occurs in such sound guides due to resonance formation, attenuation material of conventional type is used inside the sound guide together with acoustic extinction by utilizing pressure minimums as a localization point for the microphone.

Abstract: A transducer device includes a pair of transducers in the form of a speaker element and a microphone element mounted in a common housing that may be positioned and retained in the external auditory canal of the human ear thereby allowing the user to interface with communications apparatus. The housing is structured to acoustically isolate the microphone and the speaker sufficiently to avoid feedback, i.e., audio coupling. In one embodiment, this isolation is accomplished by a layer of acoustical damping material interposed between the two transducers. In another embodiment, isolation is accomplished by using a separate guide structure for each transducer. In a third embodiment, isolation is accomplished by a ported metallic plate interposed between the two transducers.

Abstract: An earphone/microphone assembly has a main body, an earphone/microphone union device, and a connection wire connected to the main body and the earphone/microphone union device. The main body has a base seat, a wire receiving disk disposed in the base seat, a plurality of annular bosses formed on the wire receiving disk, a reel disk disposed in the base seat to cover the wire receiving disk, a plurality of reeds disposed on a bottom of the reel disk, a center recess hole formed on the reel disk, a magnet disposed in the reel disk, an annular groove formed on the reel disk, and a hollow casing covering the base seat. The hollow casing has a through hole. A plug is disposed on the hollow casing. A lead wire surrounds the annular bosses. An end of the connection wire is connected to one of the reeds. The connection wire winds the annular groove.
