  • Patent number: 12272367
    Abstract: An audio device comprising an interface, memory, and a processor is disclosed. A first microphone input signal and a second microphone input signal is processed for provision of an output audio signal; and output the output audio signal, wherein to process the microphone signals determine a first distractor indicator based on features associated with the input signals; determine a first distractor attenuation parameter based on the first distractor indicator; determine a second distractor indicator based on one or more features associated with the first microphone input signal and the second microphone input signal; determine a second distractor attenuation parameter based on the second distractor indicator; determine an attenuator gain based on the first distractor attenuation parameter and the second gain compensation parameter; and apply a noise suppression scheme to a first beamforming output signal according to the attenuator gain for provision of the output audio signal.

  • Patent number: 12200448
    Abstract: Audio device and method for operating an audio device is disclosed, the audio device. A processor is configured to: obtain a first microphone input signal and a second microphone input signal; process the first microphone input signal and the second microphone input signal for provision of an output signal; and output the output signal, then obtain a first microphone signal and a second microphone signal; determine a gain compensation scheme based on the first microphone signal and the second microphone signal; and compensate a gain of the microphone signals; wherein to determine the gain compensation scheme comprises to: apply a plurality of test compensation schemes to the first microphone signal and the second microphone signal; determine a performance parameter for each of the test compensation schemes; and select the gain compensation scheme based on the performance parameters.

  • Patent number: 12200428
    Abstract: A headband for a headset comprising a carrier, a first strap and a wrapping is disclosed. The carrier is curved to conform to a wearer's head. The first strap is attached to the carrier at two attachment points. The wrapping is attached to the carrier and arranged to conceal the first strap. The first strap and the wrapping together form a head abutment portion extending between the two attachment points and configured to abut to the wearer's head when the headband is worn by the wearer. At least one of the first strap and the wrapping comprises a flexible and elastic material configured to stretch along the length of the carrier between the two attachment points, thereby providing the head abutment portion configured to adapt to the shape of the wearer's head.
