Abstract
A head gesture control system is provided that enables user control of features associated with a hearable device by using head gestures. The system determines that a movement by a user is a head control gesture designated for a particular adjustment. Various gesture factors are employed in this determination. The head control gesture may be used in combination with other types of device controls, such as tap and voice. A feedback indicator is provided back to the user describing the feature adjustment and enabling the user to ensure proper control is carried out. The user can then make additional or different adjustments or cancel the adjustment, if desired.
