Communications Earpieces

Westone has worked closely with pilots, doctors, television personalities, and communications professionals to develop highly-effective earpieces that bring new levels of comfort and efficiency to their professions. Several of our earpieces are designed specifically to work with the most popular headsets on the market, while others can be readily adapted to unique requirements.

The most commonly used communications earpieces are the Westone No. 1 and No. 19 Styles. They are available in both soft vinyl and hard acrylic materials. All communications earpieces come standard with a vent. If ordering Style No. 1, please let us know if the earpiece is to be used for a hearing instrument or a communications application. The No. SwivelComm!" Earpiece incorporates a ball and socket attachment that provides for 3-axis pivoting of the mounting bar. This allows the user to move the microphone out of position and then reposition it without removing the earpiece.

In a noisy work environment, some people choose to have a noise filter installed in the vent and wear a filtered sound attenuator in the opposite ear. We can also split the signal and feed both left and right ears with the use of a "Y" adapter.

The Westone No. 19 Earpiece works with both the Telex "Earset" and the Plantronics "StarSet" as well as with the Telex PEV 77, PEM 77and the PEM 78. Westone Style No. 19 works with the Plantronics MS-30, MS-50 and MS-57, the Telex 5x5 Pro III and 5x5 Mark IIA. If the communication system you are working with is not listed, call us. There is a good chance we can design something that will work well for you.
