ABSTRACT:
A battery-powered miniature wireless headset is worn as a single earring or as a pair of earrings. The headset communicates with a phone or other host over a bidirectional wireless communication link allowing hands-free operation. The wireless earring headset is comprised of an electronics module (18), a speaker assembly (17), a microphone assembly (16), an antenna (68), a battery (62), user interface devices such as a switch (28) and LED (30), and an attachment means employing either a clamp or a pierced earring post (24) with clutch (26). The electronics module, which may be a single chip, comprises a wireless transceiver, a processor with associated memory, an audio codec, power supply electronics, and other components. In use the device is attached to the pinna of the wearer's ear (99) using either a clamp or a post inserted through a pinna piercing and secured by a clutch or nut. The clamp or post may be permanently attached to the device or removably attached using a magnetic or mechanical attachment means. The user positions the speaker inside of, or at the entrance to, the ear canal. The microphone is mounted in such a way that it points toward the user's mouth and may be positioned on a boom (22) to move it closer to the mouth.
