1. A machine-implemented method for operating an audio communications device, comprising:
- during a call that is being performed using the audio communications device, automaticallydetecting an imprint of a user'"'"'s ear against a region around a sound emitting surface of the device using a touch sensing surface, andadjusting an audio processing parameter of the device based on said detection to compensate for acoustic leakage between the user'"'"'s ear and the region around the sound emitting surface.

Abstract
An audio communications device has a handset in which a touch sensing ear piece region is coupled to an acoustic leakage analyzer. The acoustic leakage analyzer is to analyze signals from the touch sensing ear piece region and on that basis adjust an audio processing parameter. The latter configures an audio processor which generates an audio receiver input signal for the device. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
