Abstract

An ear-wearable electronic device is operable to apply a low-pass filter to the digitized voice signal to remove a high-frequency component and obtain a low-frequency component. Speech enhancement is applied to the low-frequency component. Blind bandwidth extension is applied to the enhanced low-frequency component to recover or synthesize an estimate of at least part of the high frequency component. An enhanced speech signal is output that is a combination of the enhanced low-frequency component and the bandwidth-extended high frequency component.
