[0023] The head-mounted earphone 1 can be a bone conduction earphone or an over-ear headphone, and preferably a bone conduction earphone.
[0024] As an alternative embodiment, the measurement component 2 can be attached with a Bluetooth module to directly establish a Bluetooth connection with the host computer and transmit data to the host computer.

The main controller is connected to the earphone speaker. The main controller communicates with the host computer through Bluetooth connection, and the host computer is communicatively connected to the database.
[0026] As Figure 2 shown, based on the detection device of the present utility model, the specific monitoring includes the following steps:
[0027] Turn on the physical switch, and the system power supply is turned on; when the muscle of the part to be measured moves, displacement will be generated on the surface of the body, and the displacement will cause the internal imaging of the photoelectric displacement sensor 5 to change, and then the displacement change is detected. The continuous measurement value of the displacement change is transmitted to the main controller, and the main controller transmits the measurement value to the host computer through Bluetooth, and the host computer transmits it to the database through the Internet; after the host computer receives the measurement value of the photoelectric displacement sensor, it judges the measurement value. If the measurement value is greater than the set threshold, movement is detected, and the earphone is controlled to play music through Bluetooth. If the measurement value is not greater than the set threshold, no movement is detected, and the earphone is controlled to play a prompt tone through Bluetooth.
[0028] Furthermore, based on the detection device of the present utility model, the measurement data can also be used to establish a patient file, record the movement-time curve of each contact area, and analyze and statistically process the data.

[0030] Exemplarily, the movement of the tongue will cause displacement of the lower part of the jaw, and the photoelectric displacement sensor 5 can detect the movement of the tongue when it is close to this part; the movement of the lips will cause displacement of the lips, and the photoelectric displacement sensor 5 can detect the movement of the lips when it is close to the lips; the chewing movement will cause the upper and lower displacement of the jaw, and the photoelectric displacement sensor 5 can also detect the chewing action when it is close to the lips.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the photoelectric displacement sensor 5 can use the photoelectric sensor used in an optical mouse and adopt a commercially available product.
[0032] As an alternative embodiment, the photoelectric displacement sensor 5 can be replaced by an acceleration sensor or an acceleration sensor can be added to improve the reliability of movement detection.
[0033] As an alternative embodiment, the optoelectronic displacement sensor 5 can be one, two or a combination of multiple devices such as an optoelectronic switch, a microswitch, a capacitance or electromagnetic switch, a pressure sensor, and an electromyographic sensor. When a pressure sensor or an electromyographic sensor is adopted, the sensor housing 3 is adaptively modified so that the pressure sensor or the electromyographic sensor can be attached to the skin.
