Abstract
A transducer assembly for use with an apparatus comprising a sound transmitting earpiece comprises a sound transmitting element (1) adapted to be worn between such an earpiece and the ear, a sound transducer (3), to be located remote from the earpiece and a hollow tube (2) for acoustically coupling the sound transmitting element (1) to the transducer (3).
Claims8
A transducer assembly comprising an earpiece having a sound transmitting element adapted to be worn in the ear and to provide acoustic coupling between the ear and ambient sound occurring externally of the sound transmitting element, a transducer means for converting sound to electrical signals, and an elongate hollow conduit extending between said sound transmitting element and said transducer, the arrangement being such that, in use, with the sound transmitting element worn in the ear, the sound transmitting element acoustically couples external sound to the ear and the hollow conduit serves to provide acoustic coupling between the sound transmitting element and the transducer located at the end of the hollow conduit remote from the earpiece.
