1. An earpiece comprising:
- a water-resistant housing;
at least one feedback element operably coupled with the housing wherein the feedback element is at least one lighting element;
a processor disposed within the housing, the processor operably connected to the at least one lighting element; and
a sensor operably connected to the processor;
wherein a mode of operation of the earpiece is determined by data sent from the sensor wherein the mode of operation is a diagnostic mode;
wherein the processor controls the lighting element based upon the mode of operation of the earpiece; and
wherein the processor communicates information by sequencing the at least one lighting element being lit.
