Abstract
Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for containing a potentiometer within a wheel for use in an earmuff. An earmuff (for use with a headset) may comprise a housing configured to contain the internal elements of the earmuff; one or more sound producing elements located within the earmuff; a wheel at least partially exposed by an opening in the housing, configured to be rotated by a user; a potentiometer located within the wheel configured to detect and measure the rotation of the wheel by the user; and a processor configured to control the sound intensity output from the one or more sound producing elements based on receiving the detection from the potentiometer.
