Abstract:
An earpiece of a headset uses a first signal and a second signal received from an in-ear microphone and an outside microphone, respectively, to enhance microphone signals. The in-ear microphone is positioned at a proximal side of the earpiece with respect to an ear canal of a user, and the outside microphone is positioned at a distal side of the earpiece with respect to the ear canal. A processing unit includes a filter, which digitally filters out in-ear noise from the first signal using the second signal as a reference to produce a de-noised signal to thereby enhance the microphone signals.
