15. A system, comprising:
-
a noise cancellation sub-system configured to at least partially cancel a body conducted noise component from a first signal that is output of an implantable microphone, wherein the first signal includes the body conducted noise component and an ambient sound component, and the system is further configured to at least partial cancel the body conducted noise component using a first algorithm that is based on a second signal that temporally preceded the first signal, wherein the second signal is based on captured sound that is at least one of (i) completely free of body conducted noise or (ii) completely comprised of ambient sound. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
