An electronic device is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the electronic device comprises a housing including a plate defining a first face of the electronic device and a side portion extending along an edge of the plate and defining a side face of the electronic device, a speaker including a sound outlet disposed in a support portion of the housing extending from the side member to an inner space of the electronic device, the sound outlet disposed in a direction facing the first face, a sheet disposed between the plate and the speaker, and an acoustic duct defined in part by the sheet and the support portion, spaced apart from the plate, and extending from the sound outlet of the speaker to the side face.

Electronic device including acoustic duct having a vibratable sheet

An electronic device according to various embodiments may include a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to designate a maximum amplitude of an audio signal as a designated range, wherein designating the maximum amplitude of the audio signal as the designated range comprises processing the audio signal with the designated range according to a designated gain, to determine, based at least on hearing recognition characteristics of a human per frequency band of the processed audio signal, whether to tolerate distortion in the processed audio signal, to reduce, based at least on determining not to tolerate the distortion in the processed audio signal, a gain of the processed audio signal, and to adjust, based at least on determining to tolerate the distortion in the processed audio signal, the gain of the processed audio signal based on the hearing recognition characteristics.

Electronic device and method for adjusting gain of digital audio signal based on hearing recognition characteristics

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a speaker, a microphone, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether there is auditory data stored in the memory of the electronic device when an external electronic device is connected thereto through the communication circuit, send a request for auditory data to the external electronic device when there is no auditory data stored in the memory, receive the auditory data from the external electronic device, correct data, at the electronic device, about the sound received through the microphone using the auditory data, receive corrected audio data from the external electronic device, synthesize the corrected data about the sound and the corrected audio data received from the external device to obtain first synthesized data, and output a first new sound corresponding to the first synthesized data through the speaker.

Electronic device and method for controlling operation thereof

An electronic device and a sound signal processing method for improving sound perception of a hearing-impaired user are provided. The electronic device of the present disclosure includes a sound input unit comprising sound input circuitry configured to detect a sound and to convert the sound into a first sound signal and a processor which is electrically connected to the sound input unit, the processor configured to receive the first sound signal and to perform a predetermined signal processing on the first sound signal to generate a second sound signal, wherein the signal processing includes detecting a frequency band with a level equal to or greater than a predetermined value in a first frequency band above a predetermined cutoff frequency of the first sound signal, generating harmonic signals including a plurality of frequency bins that are identical in level with a signal in the detected frequency band, and overlapping the harmonic signals with the first sound signal.

Electronic device and sound signal processing method thereof

A method and device for processing an audio output in consideration of the hearing characteristics of a user and the characteristics of an audio device connected to an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a user interface; an audio interface configured to establish a connection to an audio device, a memory, and at least one processor electrically connected to the user interface, the memory, and the audio interface, wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire at least one of identification information of the audio device and characteristics of the audio device, select audio adaptation information, change an audio signal, at least partially based on the audio adaptation information, and transmit the changed audio signal to the audio device.
