Abstract
A method, and device, for enhancing speech generated from bone and tissue conduction of a user of an In-ear device in a noisy environment, the Intra-aural device having an in-ear microphone adapted to be in fluid communication with the ear canal of the user and an outer-ear microphone adapted to be in fluid communication with the environment outside the ear. The method comprises applying an adaptive filter on the in-ear microphone signal, using the outer-ear microphone signal as a reference for the ambient noise and interrupting the application of the adaptive filter to the In-ear microphone signal upon detecting speech by the user.
