Abstract
A throat headset system includes an element configured to be arranged at least partially around a user's neck, at least one microphone being connected to the element and configured to be in contact with a user's throat or neck skin when the headset is worn and connected wireless or by cable to the microphone and configured to be connected to a communication device, in a wireless manner or via a cable, and at least one earphone connected to the cable or in a wireless manner to a communication unit. The microphone is a microphone of the type that does not require power or electric energy of a power source for detecting sound waves.
Claims11
A throat headset system for use in noisy environments comprising:
- an element configured to be arranged at least partially around a neck of a user;
- at least one microphone being connected to the element, the element being configured to press the at least one microphone into direct abutment with neck skin or throat skin of the user when the throat headset system is worn to pick up sound from said neck skin or throat skin, the at least one microphone not requiring power, voltage or electric energy of a power source for detecting sound waves;
- a communication unit arranged at the element and connected to the at least one microphone and connectable to a communication device;
- at least one in-ear earphone connected to the communication unit;
- and
- an electric circuit,
- wherein the at least one in-ear earphone is a soundproof in-ear earphone comprising formed soft parts, a sound attenuator and an ambient hearing microphone, wherein soundproofing is achieved via the soft parts of the soundproof earphone by the soft parts being configured to tighten around an auditory canal of the user so that less ambient sound can enter the ear when the soundproof in-ear earphone is worn by the user, the ambient hearing microphone being arranged on a side oriented away from a sound channel of the at least one in-ear earphone and being connected to the electric circuit, and
- wherein the sound attenuator is an active sound attenuator configured to attenuate sound picked up by the ambient hearing microphone being above a certain sound level.
