Claim 0:
1. An audiometer system comprising:
an audiometer device comprising:
an audiometer digital signal processing (DSP) unit configured to:
generate stimulus signals responsive to a user input signal; and
convert the stimulus signals to a plurality of stimulus data packets;

an audiometer baseband processing unit positioned in communication with the audiometer DSP unit and configured to convert the stimulus data packets to a plurality of stimulus audiometer frames; and
an audiometer light-based transceiver positioned in communication with the audiometer baseband processing unit and configured to transmit the plurality of stimulus audiometer frames;

a transducer comprising:
a transducer light-based transceiver positionable within a field of view of the audiometer light-based transceiver, the transducer light-based transceiver configured to receive the plurality of stimulus audiometer frames from the audiometer light-based transceiver;
a transducer baseband processing unit positioned in communication with the transducer light-based transceiver and configured to convert the plurality of stimulus audiometer frames to a plurality of extracted stimulus data packets;
a transducer processor unit positioned in communication with the transducer baseband processing unit and configured to convert the plurality of extracted stimulus data packets into a patient stimulus signal; and
an audio speaker positioned in communication with the transducer processor unit and configured to generate a sound responsive to the patient stimulus signal.
