A wearable for capturing self-voice using a mixed sensor array, including a microphone generating a microphone signal and positioned to capture a user's voice; an accelerometer generating an accelerometer signal and positioned to capture the user's voice; and a controller receiving the microphone signal and the accelerometer signal and configured to generate a mixed output signal, wherein the mixed output signal comprises a microphone signal component and an accelerometer signal component, wherein a ratio of the microphone signal component and the accelerometer signal component is related to a value of a noise metric representing a magnitude of ambient noise.

Wearable mixed sensor array for self-voice capture

A conversation assistance system with a bi-lateral array of microphones arranged externally of a space that does not include any array microphones, where the space has a left side, a right side, a front and a back, the array comprising a left side sub-array of multiple microphones and a right side sub-array of multiple microphones, where each microphone has a microphone output signal, and a processor that creates from the microphone output signals a left-ear audio signal and a right-ear audio signal. The left-ear audio signal is created based on the microphone output signals from one or more of the microphones of the left-side sub-array and one or more of the microphones of the right-side sub-array and the right-ear audio signal is created based on the microphone output signals from one or more of the microphones of the left-side sub-array and one or more of the microphones of the right-side sub-array.
