Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A headset apparatus for a subject has an ultrasound transducer mounted within an earpiece of the headset, wherein the ultrasound transducer is configured to nest against an ear of the subject. A headband is coupled to the earpiece and is configured to extend across a parietal region of the head and to provide flexure that exerts a force for urging the ultrasound transducer against a pinna surface of the subject's ear. An alignment projection extending from the earpiece is configured as an alignment feature for positioning the ultrasound transducer against the pinna surface when the alignment projection is seated within the opening of an ear canal of the subject. The transducer and alignment projection are in fixed positions relative to each other within the earpiece.
