Speech enhancing method, device for communication earphone and noise reducing communication earphone
First Claim
1. A speech enhancing method for a communication earphone, said communication earphone comprising a sending end comprising at least two microphones;
- and a receiving end comprising at least one microphone and a speaker, wherein said speech enhancing method comprises;
implementing noise reduction at both said sending end and said receiving end of said communication earphone respectively by multiplexing sound signals picked up by the microphones of the said sending end, wherein the noise reduction processing at said sending end comprises;
determining a wearing condition of said communication earphone by determining an energy difference among the sound signals picked up by the at least two microphones of said sending end;
if said energy difference is greater than a first preset threshold, determining that said communication earphone is normally worn, said sound signals being first processed by multi-microphone noise reduction processing and then processed by single channel noise reduction processing to further suppress residuary stationary noise; and
if said energy difference is smaller than or equal to the first preset threshold, determining that said communication earphone is abnormally worn and suppressing stationary noise in said sound signals directly by the single channel noise reduction.

Abstract
The present invention provides a speech enhancing method for communication earphone including two parts: sending end noise reduction processing and receiving end noise reduction processing, wherein the sending end noise reduction processing part includes: determining a wearing condition of the earphone by comparing energy difference of sound signals picked up by microphones of the communication earphone; if the earphone is normally worn, subjecting the sound signal first to multi-microphone noise reduction and then to single channel noise reduction to further suppress residuary stationary noise; otherwise suppressing stationary noise in the sound signal by single channel noise reduction directly.
