Claim 6:
7. The audiometer system of claim 6 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:
receive the patient response signal from the transducer input device;
generate a response data stream from the patient response signal; and
generate a plurality of transducer data packets from the response data stream;

the transducer baseband processing unit is further configured to:
receive the plurality of transducer data packets; and
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:
receive the plurality of transducer frames from the audiometer light-based transceiver; and
extract the plurality of transducer data packets from the transducer frames, defining a plurality of extracted transducer data packets;

the audiometer DSP unit is further configured to:
receive the plurality of extracted transducer data packets from the audiometer baseband processing unit;
generate a received patient response signal stream from the plurality of extracted transducer data packets;
convert the received patient response signal stream into an audio signal, defining a received patient audio signal; and
transmit the received patient audio signal to a user playback device.
