Earpiece with user adjustable white noise

1 . A wireless earpiece comprising:

an earpiece housing;

a processor disposed within the earpiece housing, wherein the processor is configured to generate white noise;

a speaker for transducing the white noise operatively connected to the processor; and

a user interface for operatively selecting the white noise operatively connected to the processor;

wherein the wireless earpiece is configured to communicate the white noise at the speaker at a volume level set by a user through the user interface.

2 . The wireless earpiece of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless transceiver disposed within the housing and operatively connected to the processor, wherein the wireless transceiver communicates the white noise to a second earpiece associated with the wireless earpiece.

3 . The wireless earpiece of claim 1 , further comprising a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein a hearing test is stored in the memory.

4 . The wireless earpiece of claim 1 , wherein the user interface provides for voice control, haptic control, and/or gesture control.

5 . The wireless earpiece of claim 1 , wherein the volume level and frequencies of the white noise are determined by user preferences.

6 . The wireless earpiece of claim 3 , wherein the hearing test stored on the memory is selectable using the user interface.

7 . The wireless earpiece of claim 3 , wherein the speaker communicates a test pulse in accordance with the hearing test.

8 . A method for providing white noise using a wireless earpiece, the method comprising:

receiving a command to generate a white noise signal at a user interface located on the wireless earpiece;

generating a white noise for a user, wherein a processor operably connected to the user interface and disposed within the wireless earpiece generates the white noise; and

communicating the white noise to the user utilizing a speaker operatively connected to the processor of the wireless earpiece.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting, via a wireless transceiver operatively connected to the processor, a signal associated with the white noise to a second wireless earpiece associated with the wireless earpiece

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the white noise can include variations of white noise such as pink noise and purple noise.

11 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

performing a hearing test in response to a request from a user for automatically selecting the white noise based on results of the hearing test.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving sound at a bone conduction microphone positioned proximate to a tympanic membrane within an ear canal of the user, wherein the white noise is generated in response to the sound received by the bone conduction microphone.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the white noise in encoded within a signal, and wherein the volume and the frequency of the white noise is generated in response to the results provided by the user in response to the hearing test.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the white noise is a treatment for tinnitus of the user.

15 . A system for generating white noise, comprising:

a set of wireless earpieces, comprising:

an earpiece housing;

a processor disposed within the earpiece housing, wherein the processor is configured to generate white noise;

a speaker for transducing the white noise operatively connected to the processor;

a transceiver for sending and receiving communications; and

a user interface for operatively selecting the white noise operatively connected to the processor;

a mobile device, comprising:

a transceiver for sending and receiving communications;

an application for controlling the set of wireless earpieces;

wherein the application of the mobile device can instruct the processor of the set of wireless earpieces to generate white noise for transducing the white noise to a user at the speaker.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor can be instructed to perform a hearing test with the user to automatically determine the white noise appropriate for the user.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the white noise can be most any form of spectral noise including pink, gray and blue noise.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the user can set the volume of the white noise from the mobile device.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the earpiece communicates the white noise in an ear canal of the user.

20 . The system of claim 7 , further comprising an internal air microphone operatively connected to the processor and positioned proximate to a tympanic membrane of the user, and wherein the internal air microphone is configured to receive an ear canal sound in response to the test pulse communicated by the speaker.
