The invention relates to an arrangement for improving leak tolerance in an earpiece. The invention can be applied preferably in teleterminals, particularly in mobile stations. One idea of the invention is that an acoustic return path (314, 313, 311, 312, 320) is directed from the back part of the earpiece capsule (301) to a volume (307) between the earpiece (300) and the user's ear. By means of the solution according to the invention an optimum, controlled load is achieved particularly for low frequencies, such that a change in the volume (307) between the earpiece and the ear only has a minor effect on the volume and quality of the sensed sound. By means of the solution a good leak tolerance is achieved, even though the volume to be arranged behind the earpiece capsule is small.
An earphone device having composite functions at least has an earphone shell body, a loudspeaker, and an adjustment component. Several outer sound holes are disposed on the outer side of the earphone shell body. The loudspeaker is fixed in the earphone shell body. The loudspeaker is arranged outwards. The adjustment component is disposed on the earphone shell body. There are several adjustment holes corresponding to the outer sound holes of the earphone shell body on the adjustment component. The adjustment holes of the adjustment component can be controlled to be opposite to or be staggered with the outer sound holes of the earphone shell body. The earphone device is comfortable for use and can reduce pathological changes in ear and hearing decay to keep the human body healthy. Moreover, the earphone device has the functions of earphone, sound amplifier, and sound box.
A portable audiometer for performing hearing testing enclosed within a patient response mechanism housing is disclosed. The audiometer may include a printed circuit board containing circuitry, plugs or other connectors for wired or wireless headphones and bone conductor, a battery charging unit, and one or more buttons for indicating response to pure tone and other stimuli, including, but not limited to noise, speech, and visual and audio instructions and graphical representations of objects or concepts used in a comprehensive hearing test. The instrument can be connected via a wired or wireless interface to a variety of controlling devices, including PC's, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's), cellular phones, smartphones, including hybrid phone and PDA, and other devices such as media players, gaming systems, personal audio players, and other devices that can operatively communicate with the portable device.
