Distributed sound exposure estimation using host and remote device data

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• transmitting, from a host device to a remote audio device, a first snapshot command and a second snapshot command, the first snapshot command and the second snapshot command defining a measurement window;
• receiving, at the host device, capability data and a payload from the remote audio device, the payload corresponding to the measurement window, and the capability data indicating a presence of an in-ear microphone at the remote audio device;
• determining, using a host system clock, a duration of the measurement window;
• generating a combined in-ear sound pressure level based, at least in part, on the payload and the capability data;
• and
• integrating the combined in-ear sound pressure level over the duration of the measurement window to generate a sound exposure dose estimate.
