Claim 64:
65. A head-worn personal electronic apparatus operable to at least output customized audio output, comprising:
at least one speaker, the at least one speaker being configured to be wearable proximate to an ear of a user;
a wireless receiver configured to wirelessly receive customized audio output signals for the user, the customized audio output signals having been customized based on at least predetermined hearing characteristics associated with the user such that the customized audio output signals at least compensate for the hearing impairment regarding the user's ability to hear;
electronic circuitry including at least an integrated circuit, the electronic circuitry being configured to output the customized audio output signals to the at least one speaker;
a touch sensitive surface at least partially contained within the head-worn personal electronic apparatus and configured to sense a touch input associated with the user, wherein the sensed touch input operating to at least alter operation of the head-worn electronic personal audio apparatus;
a sensor at least partially contained within the head-worn personal electronic structure and configured to sense data indicative of whether the head-worn personal electronic apparatus is being worn by the user, the head-worn personal electronic apparatus is configured to at least alter operation of the head-worn personal electronic apparatus based at least in part on the sensed data from the sensor;
a first microphone configured to pick up at least audio input from at least the user, the first microphone being at least partially in the head-worn personal electronic apparatus and is positioned to be directed towards the user when the head-worn personal electronic apparatus is being worn by the user; and
a second microphone configured to pick up at least ambient sound input associated with an environment in the vicinity of the head-worn personal electronic apparatus, the second microphone being positioned to be directed away from the user when the head-worn wearable electronic device is being worn by the user,
wherein the at least one speaker is configured to generate at least a portion of the customized audio output for the user in accordance with at least the portion of the customized audio output signals.
