Abstract:
A system includes a first earpiece having an earpiece housing configured to isolate an ambient environment from a tympanic membrane by physically blocking ambient sound, a microphone disposed within the housing and configured to receive a first ambient audio signal from the ambient environment, a processor operatively connected to the microphone wherein the processor is configured to receive the first ambient audio signal from the microphone and determine if the first ambient signal exceeds a threshold sound level, and a speaker operatively connected to the processor. In a first mode of operation the processor determines the first ambient audio signal exceeds the threshold sound level and processes the first ambient audio signal to modify the first ambient audio signal. In a second mode of operation the processor determines the first ambient audio signal does not exceed the threshold sound level and reproduces the first ambient audio signal at the speaker.

Claim (Index 9):
A set of wireless earpieces, comprising:\n a first earpiece, comprising:\n a housing; \n a microphone operably coupled with the housing and configured to receive a first ambient audio signal; \n a transceiver operably coupled with the housing for operative communication; \n a processor operably coupled to the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to receive the first ambient audio signal from the microphone and determine if the first ambient signal exceeds a threshold sound level; and \n a speaker operably coupled to the processor; \n a second earpiece, comprising:\n a housing; \n a microphone operably coupled with the housing and configured to receive a second ambient audio signal; \n a processor operably coupled to the microphone, wherein the processor is configured to receive the second ambient audio signal from the microphone; \n a transceiver operably coupled with the housing for operative communication with the first earpiece, wherein the transceiver communicates the second ambient audio signal to the transceiver of the first wireless earpiece; and \n a speaker operably coupled to the processor; \n wherein in a first mode of operation the processor of the first earpiece determines the first ambient audio signal exceeds the threshold sound level and processes the first ambient audio signal to modify the first ambient audio signal; wherein in a second mode of operation the processor of the first earpiece determines the first ambient audio signal does not exceed the threshold sound level and reproduces the first ambient audio signal at the speaker of the first and the second earpiece; and wherein in the first mode of operation the processor of the first earpiece further processes the second ambient audio signal to modify the second ambient audio signal and provide a processed second ambient audio signal and then communicate the processed second ambient signal to the second earpiece and reproduce the processed second ambient signal at the speaker of the first and second earpiece.
