Abstract
Systems and methods for amplifying and/or attenuating audio signals are disclosed. In one implementation, a system for selectively amplifying audio signals may include at least one microphone for capturing sounds from an environment of the user and a processor. The processor may be programmed to receive an audio signal representative of sounds captured by the at least one microphone; determine whether the audio signal comprises speech by a user of the system; subject to the audio signal comprising speech by the user, modify the audio signal by attenuating a first part of the audio signal comprising the speech by the user; subject to the audio signal comprising audio other than speech by the user, modify the audio signal by amplifying a second part of the audio signal comprising audio other than the speech by the user; and transmit the modified audio signal to a hearing interface device.
