Abstract
An ear-worn device includes: a microphone that obtains a sound and outputs a sound signal of the sound obtained; a DSP that performs signal processing on the sound signal to determine whether speech contained in the sound has reverberance, and outputs, based on a result of the determination, a first sound signal obtained by performing first signal processing on the sound signal; a loudspeaker that reproduces the sound based on the first sound signal output; and a housing that contains the microphone, the DSP, and the loudspeaker.
