This application relates to a howling suppression method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method includes obtaining a current audio signal corresponding to a current time period, and performing frequency domain transformation on the current audio signal; dividing the frequency domain audio signal and determining a target subband; obtaining a current howling detection result and a current voice detection result that correspond to the current audio signal, and determining a subband gain coefficient; obtaining a past subband gain corresponding to an audio signal within a past time period, and calculating a current subband gain corresponding to the current audio signal based on the subband gain coefficient and the past subband gain; and suppressing howling on the target subband based on the current subband gain, to obtain a first target audio signal corresponding to the current time period.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a speaker, a microphone, a processor, and a memory. For example, the electronic device may obtain a first audio signal during a first specified time by using the microphone, may identify reference noise intensity based on the first audio signal, may obtain a second audio signal exceeding the reference noise intensity by using the microphone, may turn off the microphone based on a fact that a third audio signal having the reference noise intensity or less is obtained during a second specified time or longer, and may modulate and output the second audio signal through the speaker while the microphone is turned off.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for proactive encounter scanning is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is proactively processed to determine if the encounter information is indicative of one or more medical conditions and to generate one or more result set. The one or more result sets are provided to the user.

A whistling sound suppression method includes: obtaining an ambient audio signal, the ambient audio signal being a sound signal in a surrounding environment of an earphone; filtering the ambient audio signal according to a preset first filter group to obtain a first audio signal; obtaining an ear canal audio signal, the ear canal audio signal being a sound signal when the first audio signal propagates in an ear canal; and filtering a subsequently obtained ambient audio signal according to a preset second filter group to obtain a second audio signal in response to the ear canal audio signal meets a whistling condition.

An audio system includes: a speaker; a microphone that generates a microphone signal based on sound output from the speaker; a mixer module configured to generate a mixed signal by mixing the microphone signal with an audio signal; a filter module configured to filter the mixed signal to produce a filtered signal and to apply the filtered signal to the speaker; and a detector module configured to determine a howling frequency in the microphone signal attributable to sound output from the speaker, where the filter module is configured to decrease a magnitude of the filtered signal at the howling frequency.

Acoustic impedance matching devices and related methods are disclosed. An acoustic impedance matching device includes a first face for facing an acoustic transducer, a second face opposite the first face, and a lattice structure between the first face and the second face. The second is face curved to at least substantially conformally engage an inner surface of a tubing. An effective acoustic impedance of the lattice structure substantially matches a transducer acoustic impedance of the acoustic transducer to a tubing acoustic impedance of the tubing. A material acoustic impedance of a material of the lattice structure is greater than the effective acoustic impedance. A method of manufacturing an acoustic impedance matching device includes providing, to an additive manufacturing apparatus, a digital design defining the lattice structure, providing an additive manufacturing material to a material intake of the additive manufacturing apparatus, and manufacturing the lattice structure using the additive manufacturing material.

This disclosure describes techniques for detecting voice commands from a user of an ear-based device. The ear-based device may include an in-ear facing microphone to capture sound emitted in an ear of the user, and an exterior facing microphone to capture sound emitted in an exterior environment of the user. The in-ear microphone may generate an inner audio signal representing the sound emitted in the ear, and the exterior microphone may generate an outer audio signal representing sound from the exterior environment. The ear-based device may compute a ratio of a power of the inner audio signal to the outer audio signal and may compare this ratio to a threshold. If the ratio is larger than the threshold, the ear-based device may detect the voice of the user. Further, the ear-based device may set a value of the threshold based on a level of acoustic seal of the ear-based device.
