Device and method for adjusting speech intelligibility at an audio device

Abstract:

A device and method for adjusting speech intelligibility at an audio device is provided. The device comprises a microphone, a transmitter and a controller. The controller is configured to: determine a noise level at the microphone; select a voice tag, of a plurality of voice tags, based on the noise level, each of the plurality of voice tags associated with respective noise levels; determine an intelligibility rating of a mix of the voice tag and noise received at the microphone; and when the intelligibility rating is below a threshold intelligibility rating, enhance speech received the microphone based on the intelligibility rating prior to transmitting, at the transmitter, a signal representing intelligibility enhanced speech.
