1. A device, comprising:
- a processor that performs operations, the operations comprising;
detecting, based on a change in a characteristic of an acoustic signal occurring in an acoustic environment, an acoustical dampening of the acoustic signal between the acoustic environment and a microphone, wherein the acoustical dampening of the acoustic signal results in a damped acoustic signal, wherein the acoustical dampening is facilitated by an acoustic dampening element in a path between the acoustic environment and the microphone of the device; and
applying a compensation filter to the damped acoustic signal to form a compensated acoustic signal that is reproduced.

Abstract
At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a communication device that includes a microphone configured to detect an acoustic signal from an acoustic environment, and a processor, configured to detect an acoustical dampening between the acoustic environment and the microphone, based on a change in a characteristic of the acoustic signal and, responsive to the acoustical dampening, apply a compensation filter to the acoustic signal to form a compensated acoustic signal that is reproduced. Other embodiments are disclosed.
