METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ACUTE SOUND DETECTION AND REPRODUCTION

摘要

A method for acute sound detection and reproduction is provided that can include measuring an ambient sound level external to an ear canal at least partially occluded by the earpiece, monitoring a change in the ambient sound level for detecting an acute sound, estimating a proximity of the acute sound, and reproducing the acute sound within the ear canal responsive to detecting the acute sound and the proximity.
