An earpiece can include an Ambient Sound Microphone (ASM), an Ear Canal Receiver (ECR), a transceiver, an illumination element, and a processor to provide visual operational mode indication via the illumination element. The operational mode can correspond to an active phone call, an incoming phone call, a terminated phone, a caller-on-hold condition, a recording mode, a voice mail mode, a mute mode, an audible transparency mode or an ear-plug mode. The intensity, frequency, amplitude, color or duration of the lighting can be adjusted according to the operational mode. |

1. An earpiece, comprising:
at least one microphone; an Ear Canal Receiver (ECR) to deliver audio to an ear canal; a transceiver to receive and transmit communication signals from a paired communication device; an illumination element to provide light; and a processor operatively coupled to the at least one microphone, the ECR, and the transceiver, to provide a visual operational mode indication of an operational mode of at least one of the earpiece or the paired communication device via the illumination element, where the operational mode includes identifying when a message is received by the paired communication device. |
