  • Patent number: 12368994
    Abstract: The electronic processing device for an acoustic apparatus including a first air conduction microphone and a second bone conduction microphone, configured for being connected to the first and second microphones, for receiving as inputs the first and respectively second analog signals from the first, and respectively second microphones and for delivering as output a corrected signal. The processing device comprises: a hybridization module configured for calculating a hybrid signal from the first and second analog signals; an estimation module configured for estimating noise in the hybrid signal; a noise reduction module configured for calculating the corrected signal by applying a generalized spectral subtraction algorithm to the hybrid signal and according to the estimated noise.
