    Abstract: A battery-powered electronic device, such as an electronic hearing protector (100) includes a housing (113) enclosing the battery and an electronics assembly powered by the battery, the electronics assembly comprises a processor controlled by updatable software. The device further includes a first electrical contact (119a) that is a ground line; a second electrical contact (119b) that is a data programming line in a first state, and that is a charging voltage line in a second state; and a third electrical contact (119c) that is a clock line in a first state, and that is a charge enable line in the second state. The first, second and third electrical contacts (119a-c) are accessible from outside the housing (113). A switch enclosed by the housing (113) changes the second electrical contact (119b) between the first state and the second state.

    Abstract: A hearing protection device is disclosed which incorporates integrated audiometric testing, thereby allowing for testing without removal of safety hearing protection. The hearing protection is typically intended to be worn for the duration of a work shift, and allows for self-testing during the shift. Embodiments of the device may utilize a series of partial test sessions, so that each test session is kept brief so as to not interfere unduly with the work schedule. This may encourage frequent testing, hopefully aiding in early detection of potential hearing loss. Additionally, methods of use are disclosed.

    Abstract: The invention discloses a headset communication method under a strong-noise environment and a headset. The method comprises: using earplugs to reduce medium and high frequency noises entering an ear canal, using an external connection cavity in parallel connection with the ear canal to divert medium and low frequency noises; using an internal microphone to pick up the sound in the ear canal and an environmental noise signal entering the ear canal, using an external microphone to pick up the environmental noise signal, and taking the external microphone signal as reference signals to eliminate the noise element in the internal microphone signal and remain the voice element to obtain transmitting terminal signals of the headset; using sound dynamic compression technology to cut down and compensate the signals picked up by the external microphone in terms of sound pressure level such that the sound pressure range is compressed to a range acceptable by human ears and the signals picked up by the external microphone and the receiving terminal signal received by the headset are broadcast together through a receiver of the headset. By means of the technical scheme of the present invention, the functions of protecting hearing, enhancing voice and monitoring a three-dimensional environment can be achieved comprehensively under strong-noise environments.
