Embodiment Construction

[0020] The principles described herein may be applied to, for example, a headset, handset, or other communication device configured to perform sidetone feedback notification. Unless expressly limited by its context, the term "signal" is used herein to refer to any of its ordinary meanings, including a memory location (or collection of memory locations) as expressed on a wire, bus, or other transmission medium state. Unless expressly limited by its context, the term "generate" is used herein to refer to any of its ordinary meanings, such as computing or otherwise generating. Unless expressly limited by its context, the term "calculate" is used herein to refer to any of its ordinary meanings, such as calculating, evaluating, smoothing, and / or selecting from a plurality of values. Unless expressly limited by its context, the term "adjusting gain" is used to indicate that the adjustment of gain may be increased or decreased (ie, lost). Unless expressly limited by its context, th...

Abstract

A communication device including multiple microphones is provided. The communication device includes at least two microphones. The communication device further includes a sidetone feedback notifier for producing a notification signal. The sidetone feedback notifier is coupled to the microphones. The notification signal is based on the combination of, a first input audio signal provided for by a first microphone, and a second input audio signal provided for by a second microphone. The sidetone feedback notifier is coupled to a notification device for providing a feedback signal to a user based on the notification signal, which may be an audible, a visual or a tactile signal.
