System, method, and apparatus for generating and digitally processing a head related audio transfer function

A wearable apparatus for hearing enhancement and protection capable of generating a head related audio transfer function for a user, said wearable apparatus comprising:

• a left in-ear assembly and a right in-ear assembly disposable in an operative position, said left in-ear assembly and said right in-ear assembly each comprise of a primary chamber and a secondary chamber, said primary chamber disposed proximal to a user's ear and said secondary chamber disposed distal to a user's ear, when in said operative position,
• said secondary chamber comprises:
• a microphone aperture on an exterior surface of said secondary chamber, said microphone aperture in air flow communication with an external environment;
• a tragus structure on said exterior surface of said secondary chamber, said tragus structure disposed to partially enclose said microphone aperture,
• an antihelix structure on said exterior surface of said secondary chamber, said antihelix disposed to partially enclose said tragus structure and said microphone aperture,
• a microphone channel on an interior of said secondary chamber, said microphone channel in air flow communication with said microphone aperture,
• a microphone disposed within an end of said microphone channel,
• said primary chamber comprises:
• a playback module connected to said microphone,
• an auditory channel connected to said playback module, said auditory channel disposed in communication with a user's ear, when in said operative position,
• an isolation baffle disposed to isolate said microphone from said playback module, and
• a preamplifier configured to receive an audio signal, an audio processor configured to receive an amplified signal, and said playback module configured to receive a processed signal.

A wearable apparatus for hearing enhancement and protection capable of generating a head related audio transfer function for a user, said wearable apparatus comprising:

• at least one in-ear assembly disposable in an operative position, said at least one in-ear assembly comprising a primary chamber and a secondary chamber, said primary chamber disposed proximal to a user's ear and said secondary chamber disposed distal to a user's ear, when in said operative position, and an interconnecting member connected to said at least one in-ear assembly,
• said secondary chamber including:
• a microphone aperture on an exterior surface of said secondary chamber, said microphone aperture in air flow communication with the external environment;
• a tragus structure on said exterior surface of said secondary chamber, said tragus structure disposed to partially enclose said microphone aperture,
• an antihelix structure on said exterior surface of said secondary chamber, said antihelix disposed to partially enclose said tragus structure and said microphone aperture,
• a microphone channel on an interior of said secondary chamber, said microphone channel in air flow communication with said microphone aperture,
• a microphone attached to an end of said microphone channel,
• an isolation baffle disposed to isolate said microphone from a playback module;
• said primary chamber including:
• a playback module connected to said microphone, said playback module isolated from said microphone,
• an auditory channel connected to said playback module, said auditory channel disposed in communication with a user's ear, when in an operative position,
• a stabilizer assembly, said stabilizer comprising a circular collar connected to said exterior of said primary chamber, and a concha-shaped structure attached to said circular collar and structure for disposition on a user's ear, when in an operative position,
• said interconnecting member including:
• a flexible back section connected to a side section on one end and a side section on a second end, said interconnecting member connected to said at least one in-ear assembly,
• at least one audio processor configured to receive an audio signal from said at least one in-ear assembly, and
• at least one preamplifier configured to receive said audio signal, said audio processor further configured to receive an amplified signal, and said playback module configured to receive a processed signal.
