Precisely controlled microphone acoustic attenuator with protective microphone enclosure

A passive acoustical attenuator for a microphone, said acoustical attenuator combining attenuation to lower a sound level of a sound introduced into the microphone with physical protection for the microphone;

• wherein the passive acoustical attenuator for a microphone is disposed within a chamber of a handset and a speech sound enters the proximate inlet and is reduced in level and then converted to an electric signal;
• wherein the speech sound is an impeded speech sound and the plosive energy of the impeded speech sound is screened via a diaphragm;
• and,
• wherein the electric signal is sent to a computerized device featuring computer readable memory with installed software for rehabilitating the impeded speech sound and a processor for executing the installed software for rehabilitating the impeded speech sound;
• wherein:
• the software features:
• an Impaired Speech Analysis and Comparison module configured to receive the electric signal and recognize the electrical signal as an unintelligible rendition of a word or phrase;
• a Generation of Intelligible Output module configured to rehabilitate the unintelligible rendition of the word or phrase via generating an intelligible output as a different electric signal;
• wherein the Impaired Speech and the Generation of Intelligible Output modules are executed by the processor and the different electric signal is output from the computerized device;
• wherein the different electric signal is output via a speaker wherein the different electric signal is used to generate a voice;
• wherein speaker is located externally of said chamber of the handset;
• wherein the handset is configured to reduce the plosive raw voice of the impaired speech;
• where the handset includes a low durometer voice air flow flap for exhale speech and inhale life air intake as needed for plosive words require more air flow for pronunciation;
• and,
• wherein the air flow flap is a two-way vent such that the area for voice air intake and exhaust may be open for normal speech and air inhalation but closed off during expression of plosive words.
