The invention relates to an eating habit monitoring device, which comprises a sound sensor, a sensor interface circuit module, a microprocessor and a display hardware module. The microprocessor comprises a sound signal acquiring module, a signal pretreating module, a signal feature extracting module, a signal feature classifying module, an eating habit analyzing and calculating module and a display software module, and is implemented by the following steps of: when a person eats, continuously acquiring a sound signal in an external auditory canal by using the sound sensor arranged in the external auditory canal; pretreating the sound signal; performing feature extraction on the pretreated sound signal; classifying feature values, and distinguishing swallowing signals and chewing signals and time corresponding to the swallowing signals and the chewing signals; calculating eating habit index values of the person, including total swallowing times, average swallowing times in unit time, and the average chewing time and average chewing times of each time of swallowing; and displaying the habit index values. By the eating habit monitoring device, the eating habit of the person can be analyzed, calculated and displayed, and body health is benefited.
