Abstract:

An earpiece for use with a post-auricle communication headset is disclosed. The headset includes a capsule to which a microphone boom and the earpiece are affixed. The earpiece is composed of a flexible sound tube terminating in a sound tip surrounded by a conically shaped ear cushion. The sound tube includes an acoustically sealed swivel joint functioning to facilitate the secure positioning of the ear cushion in the user's ear. The cushion is composed of a compressible foam material and is configured so that the sound tip is not in contact with the user's ear thereby reducing irritation and dissipating sound surges.
