A voice aware audio system and a method for a user wearing a headset to be aware of an outer sound environment while listening to music or any other audio source. An adjustable sound awareness zone gives the user the flexibility to avoid hearing far distant voices. The outer sound can be analyzed in a frequency domain to select an oscillating frequency candidate and in a time domain to determine if the oscillating frequency candidate is the signal of interest. If the signal directed to the outer sound is determined to be a signal of interest the outer sound is mixed with audio from the audio source.

A mode control method includes determining, by a terminal device based on a scene type of an external environment, that a processing mode used by a headset is a target mode. The target mode is one of a plurality of processing modes supported by the headset, where different processing modes correspond to different scene types, and the processing modes supported by the headset include at least two of the following modes: an active noise control (ANC) mode, a hear-through (HT) mode, or an augmented hearing (AH) mode. Processing intensity in the target mode is automatically adjusted based on an event in a current external environment. The terminal device further provides a control interface for the headset to provide selection controls for the user to select a processing mode and processing intensity. The user controls a processing mode and processing intensity of the headset based on a requirement.

A method for spatial audio signal processing including: obtaining, from a first capture device, at least one first audio signal and at least one first direction parameter for at least one frequency band; obtaining, from a second capture device, at least one second audio signal and at least one second direction parameter for the at least one frequency band; obtaining a first position associated with the first capture device; obtaining a second position associated with the second capture device; determining a distance parameter for the at least one frequency band in relation to the first position based, at least partially, on the at least one first direction parameter and the at least one second direction parameter; and enabling an output and/or store of the at least one first audio signal, the at least one first direction parameter and the distance parameter.

Disclosed are a fitting method and apparatus for a hearing earphone, which relate to the field of mobile Internet services. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: obtaining a test result of hearing threshold of a user, transmitting the test result of hearing threshold to a server, and then receiving a target compensation gain value of each of frequency bands, which value is calculated based on hearing earphone configuration information; and sending a generated pure tone signal to a hearing earphone for playing, receiving sound in an ear canal by means of an inner ear microphone arranged in the hearing earphone, so as to receive speech information generated by playing the pure tone signal, and further adjusting gain data of each of frequency bands to approximate a corresponding target compensation gain value. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can solve the problems of low fitting efficiency and reliability and high costs of existing hearing earphones.

A system for providing multimodal stimulation to a user includes a tactile device including a set of tactile actuators. Additionally, the system can include and/or interface with a user device, a remote computing system, and/or any other devices. A method for multimodal stimulation functions to provide therapy to a user for tinnitus or other conditions, and includes any or all of: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of outputs; providing the set of outputs to a user; and adjusting any or all of the set of outputs.

A tactile audio system and associated methods are disclosed. In one example, the tactile audio system includes a signal processor configured to separate an input signal into a transient group and a sustained group. In one example, the tactile audio system includes a signal processor configured to separate an input signal into a plurality of frequency bands for each of the transient group and the sustained group. A number of transducers are provided to generate a tactile response corresponding to portions of the separated audio signal.

Methods for rendering audio for playback by two or more speakers are disclosed. The audio includes one or more audio signals, each with an associated intended perceived spatial position. Relative activation of the speakers may be a cost function of a model of perceived spatial position of the audio signals when played back over the speakers, a measure of proximity of the intended perceived spatial position of the audio signals to positions of the speakers, and one or more additional dynamically configurable functions. The dynamically configurable functions may be based on at least one or more properties of the audio signals, one or more properties of the set of speakers and/or one or more external inputs.

An apparatus, comprising: an audio input for receiving an input audio signal; an tuning input for receiving a tuning signal; a filter chain comprising a plurality of filters for filtering the audio signal to produce a filtered input audio signal, the filter chain comprising: a first filter module operating at a first sampling rate; and a second filter module operating at a second sampling rate greater than the first sampling rate, wherein a phase response of the first filter module is dependent on the tuning input and wherein a magnitude response of the first filter module is substantially independent of the tuning input.
