Communication Earplug (CEP)

Miniature transducers and foam earplugs are coupled in a unique arrangement to yield a lightweight, high quality communications device that can be used alone or in combination with circumaural hearing protection.

Combining the foam earplug and the sound transducer into a single unit results in a simple but effective approach for providing the user with excellent sound attenuation and unparalleled speech intelligibility.

The foam tip is attached to the transducer using a threaded hollow tube. This provides a pathway that allows sound to travel from the transducer, unimpeded, into the occluded ear canal.

The noise reduction of the foam ear tips coupled with exceptional quality speech signals enable the user to achieve extremely high speech intelligibility in the noisiest environment
