An ear mount includes a body part mounted on a conchal cavity and an insertion part mounted on a cylindrical part and inserted into an ear canal. A cover configured to cover an inner housing of the body part with a protrusion formed thereon includes: a first end sealed and fixed to the inner housing; an intermediate part separated from the inner housing to form an air chamber between the intermediate part and the inner housing, and configured to cover the protrusion; a second end located opposite to the first end with the intermediate part therebetween; and an opening located at the second end and through which the cylindrical part is inserted. The ear mount includes a pressure regulator for controlling ventilation of air between the air chamber and an outer space through the opening in accordance with a pressure difference between the air chamber and the outer space.

Ear mount

A communication circuit communicates with a right earphone worn on a right ear of a user and a left earphone worn on a left ear of the user to receive a first output signal generated by a first motion sensor provided in the right earphone and a second output signal generated by a second motion sensor provided in the left earphone. A detector detects whether a third party has approached the user based on a difference value between the first output signal and the second output signal received by the communication circuit. A notification unit notifies the user that the third party has approached the user when the detector detects that the third party has approached the user.
