Programmable earpiece
First Claim
1. An earpiece comprising a speaker and a temperature sensor, the earpiece being programmable, and being programmed(a) to store a preset temperature,(b) to receive a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor,(c) to compare the sensed and preset temperatures, and(d) if the sensed temperature equals or exceeds the preset temperature, then to sound an alarm via the speaker, but(e) if the sensed temperature does not equal or exceed the preset temperature, then not to sound the alarm.

Abstract
For a firefighter or for an emergency rescue worker, an earpiece comprising a speaker, a microphone, and a temperature sensor comprises a programmable chip, which is programmed to sound an alarm via the speaker if and only if a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor equals or exceeds a preset temperature. The speaker and the microphone provide for audible communication between a wearer and another.
