A hands-free digital push-to-talk device (102) includes a digital background noise suppressor (302), a digital voice activity detector (304), an audio buffer (306), as well as a decision handler (308), embedded inside the device's (102) digital signal processor (222). Audio is buffered until the decision handler (308) determines that speech is present on an audio stream fed to the voice activity detector (304). The decision handler (308) makes the decision by assigning weighted values to each voice activity detector (304) determination, the weighted value varying depending on the state of the device (102) and temporal distance from the present time.
