Abstract
An apparatus and a method of voice detection and discrimination apparatus for controlling a voice operated system. A protective ear terminal element in the apparatus protects the ear by providing acoustic attenuation. An inner electroacoustic transducer element on an inner side of the ear terminal element detects a first acoustic field and provides a first electronic signal representing the first acoustic field. An outer electroacoustic transducer element on an outer side of the ear terminal element detects a second acoustic field and provides a second electronic signal representing the second acoustic field. An electronics unit is connected with the electroacoustic transducer elements and includes first and second comparison members.
