Design Considerations for a Microphone-Equipped Mouthpiece for Navy Diver Communication

Abstract

The paper presents design considerations of a microphone-equipped breathing mouthpiece for enhanced underwater swimmer communications. Toward this objective, emphasis was placed upon providing increased freedom for articulatory movement as well as a larger 'speaking' cavity for less restriction to the speech flow while maintaining protection from the dangers of CO2 build-up in the breathing mixture.
