Wireless Headset Noise Exposure Dosimeter
First Claim
1. A method for measuring noise dose on a wireless headset comprising:
- identifying a first transition from a wireless headset standby mode operation to a wireless headset active mode operation;
recalling a stored noise dose measurement at the wireless headset;
calculating a current noise dose measurement at the wireless headset for a duration of the wireless headset active mode operation;
identifying a second transition from the wireless headset active mode operation to the wireless headset standby mode operation; and
recording an updated noise dose measurement at the wireless headset.

Abstract
Systems and methods for measuring noise exposure associated with use of a wireless headset are presented. In one example, a transition from a wireless headset standby mode operation to a wireless headset active mode operation is identified. A stored noise dose measurement at the wireless headset is recalled, and a current noise dose measurement is calculated at the wireless headset for a duration of the active mode operation. A transition from the wireless headset active mode operation to the wireless headset standby mode operation is identified, and an updated noise dose measurement is recorded at the wireless headset.
