1. A speech enhancement system for a remote microphone, comprising:
- a wireless receiver to receive a wireless signal from a remote device wherein the wireless signal contains a first microphone signal from a first microphone of the remote device;
a first delay buffer to receive a second microphone signal from a second microphone that is contained within a headset housing and to delay the second microphone signal by an adjustable delay, wherein the adjustable delay is based on a difference between a wireless delay and an acoustic delay; and
a noise suppressor to produce an output audio signal for driving an earpiece speaker in the headset housing, based on the first microphone signal and the adjustable delayed second microphone signal.

Abstract
A speech enhancement system for a remote microphone has a wireless receiver that receives a signal from a first microphone of a remote device. A delay buffer receives a second microphone signal from a second microphone and delays by an adjustable delay. The adjustable delay is based on a difference between a wireless delay and an acoustic delay. A noise suppressor produces an output audio signal for an earpiece speaker, based on the first microphone signal and the adjustable delayed second microphone signal. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

11. A method for speech enhancement in a listening system using a remote microphone, comprising:
-
receiving a first microphone signal from a first microphone in a remote device; receiving into a first delay buffer a second microphone signal from a second microphone of a listening device; delaying, through the first delay buffer, the second microphone signal by an adjustable delay, wherein the adjustable delay is based on a difference between a wireless delay and an acoustic delay; and modifying the first microphone signal, the adjustable delayed second microphone signal, or both, through a noise suppressor to produce an output audio signal for driving an earpiece speaker of the listening device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
