What is claimed is:
1. A head supported communication assembly, comprising:
- a head support member shaped and dimensioned to conform to the head of an individual, the head support member further including an ear hook shaped dimensioned to conform to the outer periphery of a human ear so as to support the weight of the head supported communication assembly;
- a speaker, pivotally secured to the head support member for unbiased rotation toward and away from the auditory canal of a human ear in a manner limiting rotation of the speaker toward the auditory canal of a human ear in a controlled manner so as to permit a user to selectively swing the speaker away from the auditory canal when there is no need for the speaker, swing the speaker toward the auditory canal when the user wishes to use the speaker or position the speaker at a desired distance from the auditory canal of the user when circumstances so dictate, wherein the speaker includes first and second arm between which a pivot bar positioned, the pivot bar being shaped and dimensioned for selective attachment to clamp formed along the outer surface of the head support member to thereby permit free rotation of the speaker without moving other elements of the assembly, and
- an elongated microphone boom having a first end and a second end connected to and supported by the head support member.
