1. A system, comprising:
- an adaptive noise cancellation sub-system, wherein the system is configured to adjust operation of the sub-system from a first operating state to a second operating state upon a determination that operation of the adaptive noise cancellation sub-system will be affected by an own voice body conducted noise phenomenon.

Abstract
A system, including an adaptive noise cancellation sub-system, wherein the system is configured to adjust operation of the sub-system from a first operating state to a second operating state upon a determination that operation of the adaptive noise cancellation sub-system will be effectively affected by an own voice body conducted noise phenomenon.

14. A method, comprising:
-
outputting first signals from an implanted transducer while a recipient is vocally silent that are based at least in part on non-own-voice body conducted noise, and subsequently outputting second signals from the implanted transducer while a recipient thereof is vocalizing that are based at least in part on own-voice body conducted noise, the body noises being conducted through tissue of the recipient of the implanted transducer; processing the outputted signals; and evoking respective hearing percepts based on the processed outputted signals over a temporal period substantially corresponding to the outputs of the first signals and the second signals, wherein the processing of the second signals is executed in a different manner from that of the first signals. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A device, comprising:
-
a hearing prosthesis including a transducer sub-system configured to transduce energy originating from an acoustic signal and from body noise, and further including a control unit configured to identify the presence of an own voice body conducted noise event based on the transduced energy, wherein the hearing prosthesis is configured to cancel body conducted noise energy from a transducer signal including energy originating from the acoustic signal at least in the absence of an identification of the presence of the own voice body conducted noise event. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A device, comprising:
a hearing prosthesis including a transducer sub-system configured to transduce energy originating from an acoustic signal and from body conducted noise, and output a signal based on the acoustic signal and on the body conducted noise, wherein the hearing prosthesis is configured to; determine that at least one of own voice content is present or own voice content is absent in the output; evoke a hearing percept having a significant body conducted noise content upon at least one of the determination that own voice content is present in the output or failure to determine that own voice content is absent from the output, and evoke a hearing percept having substantially no body conducted noise content upon at least one of a determination that own voice content is absent from the output or upon failure to determine that own voice content is present in the output. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31)
