Abstract

Ear terminal comprising a sealing section arranged for use in the ear meatus of a human, comprising an inner microphone having a sound inlet for being directed into the meatus; an electronic unit including filtering means coupled to said inner microphone for filtering the signal from said inner microphone, said filtering means being programmable to transform the signals based on the sounds received in the ear by said inner microphone into sounds having essentially the characteristics of spoken sounds of the wearer of the ear terminal.
