It is my opinion that a person of ordinary skill in the art would have interpreted the “ regulated components” of claim 1 to be components that require a supply of “ electrical power” that has the characteristic of being defined voltage that is held constant during normal operation.

Components of claim 1 that are “regulated components are a “ microphone element” , “ contrl circuitry “ , a “receiving socket”, and a speaker.See 774 patent Fig 5 , and 7: 15-26
