Techniques are provided for mobile platform based detection and prevention (or mitigation) of hearing loss. An example system may include a hearing loss indicator data generation circuit configured to measure hearing loss indicator data associated with use of the device by a user. The hearing loss indicator data may include ambient sound characteristics, user speech volume level and user volume setting of the device. The system may also include an audio context generation circuit configured to estimate context data associated with use of the device. The context data may be based on classification of audio input to the device and on the location of the device. The system may further include an interface circuit configured to collect the hearing loss indicator data and the context data over a selected time period and provide the collected data to a hearing loss analysis system at periodic intervals.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an arrangement for single wire communications (SWC) for an electronic device. In one instance, the arrangement may comprise a cable assembly to connect with the electronic device, wherein the cable assembly may include a wire to conduct SWC and a cover portion to cover a portion of the wire. The cover portion may comprise a ferro-dielectric material. The arrangement may further include a control logic coupled with the cable assembly, to adjust characteristics associated with the ferro-dielectric material, to tune a signal termination impedance value associated with the cable assembly. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Single wire communication arrangement

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for a cable assembly for single wire communications (SWC). In one instance, the cable assembly may comprise a wire having a wire end to couple with a signal launcher of an electronic device, and a first cover portion to house a first portion of the wire that extends from the wire end. The first cover portion may comprise a shape to conform to a shape of the signal launcher, and may be fabricated of a material with a dielectric constant above a threshold. The assembly may further comprise a second cover portion coupled with the first cover portion to house a second portion of the wire that extends from the first wire portion and protrudes from the first cover portion. The second cover portion may be fabricated of a ferrite material. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A solution to the technical problem of improving device-to-device connection speeds includes the use of single-wire communication (SWC). Unlike the two differential wires required in transmission lines, SWC includes a transmission method using a single wire for data without requiring a return wire. The use of SWC has the potential to enable low loss channels of increasingly high bandwidth. The SWC improvements in bandwidth and frequency enable a significant reduction of power required for communication. SWC provides significant improvement in speed for each channel, so fewer wires may be used for each device-to-device connection. SWC also provides the ability to convey increased bandwidth and increased power over each wire, which further reduces the number of wires needed to provide power and communication.

Adaptive filtering is described for use with amplifiers for any wired speaker. In one example, an apparatus includes an audio cable to provide an analog audio signal to an audio transducer, such as a speaker, the audio cable also receiving a modulated noise current, an output amplifier to receive an audio input, to generate an audio output by amplifying the audio input, and to provide the audio input to the audio cable, and a feedback system to receive the audio output and to receive a reference signal and to generate a noise cancellation signal to the output amplifier, the noise cancellation signal to cancel the modulated noise current.
