Description
The negative effects of ear-canal occlusion are discussed as are methods that have been tried to reduce those effects. An adaptive filtering algorithm that could reduce the negative effects of ear-canal occlusion is proposed. Experiments and subjective listening tests are performed to test its effectiveness. It is concluded that the algorithm can effectively reduce the body-conducted signals trapped in the occluded ear canal that escape when the canal is unoccluded. Before it is implemented in hardware, a real-time simulation of the algorithm should be done and several people should judge its effectiveness.
