Classification: CPC H  A | IPC A  H

Claim 1:
2. The audiometer system of claim 1 wherein:
the transducer further comprises:
a transducer input device positioned in communication with the transducer processor unit and configured to:
receive a patient input from the patient, defining a received patient input; and
generate a patient response signal from the received patient input;

the transducer processor unit is further configured to convert the patient response signal to a plurality of transducer data packets;
the transducer baseband processing unit is further configured to generate a plurality of transducer frames, each transducer frame comprising a transducer data packet;
the transducer light-based transceiver is further configured to transmit the plurality of transducer frames to the audiometer light-based transceiver;
the audiometer light-based transceiver is further configured to receive the plurality of transducer frames from the transducer light-based transceiver;
the audiometer baseband processing unit is further configured to convert the plurality of transducer frames to a received patient audio signal stream; and
the audiometer DSP unit is further configured to:
convert the received patient audio signal stream to an audio signal, defining a received patient audio signal; and
transmit the received patient audio signal to a user playback device.
