A tele-health apparatus includes a telephone having a microphone, an auscultation piece to acquire sounds, and a solid medium acoustically coupling the auscultation piece to the microphone. The auscultation piece is part of a stethoscope, and the solid medium is a windpipe of the stethoscope. The tele-health apparatus also includes an otoscope operable to be disposed in front of a camera of the telephone. A clip holds the stethoscope and the otoscope, and is fixed to the phone. Software modules installed in the telephone enable the tele-health apparatus to engage a user in a two-way audio and/or video consultation with a physician at a remote device in real-time.

A communication system comprising a hard of hearing user's wireless phone device configured to (i) wirelessly receive a hearing user's voice signal that originated at a hearing user's phone device, (ii) route the hearing user's voice signal to a relay for transcription into a text communication, (iii) receive a hard of hearing user's voice signal and (iv) transmit the hard of hearing user's voice signal to the hearing user's phone device, a hard of hearing user's captioned device that is independent of the hard of hearing user's phone device, the captioned device including a display screen and a processor, the processor in the captioned device configured to: (i) receive a text communication originating at the relay, the text communication corresponding to a transcription of the hearing user's voice signal, and (ii) display a text caption corresponding to the text communication on the display of the hard of hearing user's captioned device.

A wireless communications headset system for double hearing protection systems that eliminates the problems associated with typical wireless communications systems. The system employs a magnetic-field coupled wireless link from a loop transmitter to a magnetic field receiver. Current through the transmitter wire loops generates magnetic flux which passes through a communications earplug. The earplug has a receiver for converting the magnetic flux to electrical voltage, and this voltage is used to drive a speaker within the earplug. The transmitter can be easily installed into aviation headsets. The loop transmitter has an open center sized so that it fits around the pinna of the human ear enabling a close position to the communications earplug. This close position is advantageous if an efficient system is desired.
