  • Publication number: 20230388704
    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.

  • Patent number: 9754577
    Abstract: The invention relates to an acoustic device capable of producing active noise reduction, which may be positioned on the head of a user, comprising at least one microphone capable of sensing a sound signal representative of ambient noise, including at least one active noise reduction acoustic module comprising an osteophonic transducer, capable of being positioned on a side flank of the head of the user and of transmitting a vibratory signal transformed by bone conduction into an acoustic signal which may be perceived by the user, connected to said microphone, while said at least one acoustic module includes an electronic circuit capable of generating a vibratory signal giving the possibility of attenuating perception of said ambient noise by the user.
