    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed relating to sound enhancement for wireless audio devices. A technique may include determining one or more user-specific audio processing parameters, receiving an RF signal from a first wireless device, demodulating the received RF signal to obtain an audio signal, processing the audio signal based on the one or more user-specific audio processing parameters to generate a user-specific audio signal. The user-specific audio processing parameters may be based on user preferences, or may, for example be based on a user auditory profile or other information to allow a received audio signal to be processed to at least partially compensate for a user's specific hearing impairment.

    Abstract: A sound quality metric may be determined at a near-end telephone system, the sound quality metric associated with far-end sound quality received at a far-end telephone system. A signal adjustment may be determined, based on the sound quality metric. The signal adjustment may thus be provided at an earpiece of the near-end telephone system. In this way, a user of the near-end telephone system may be alerted that the sound quality of a far-end user is unacceptably low, so that the near-end user may take corrective action at the near end to improve the far-end sound quality.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for noise suppression and echo cancellation are disclosed. An example embodiment of a method for noise suppression and echo cancellation includes monitoring an audio channel in a telephony device and determining, as a result of the monitoring, whether an active voice channel is established in the audio channel. The example method also includes, in the event the active voice channel is not established in the audio channel, calibrating at least one of a noise suppression module of the telephony device and an echo cancellation module of the telephony device.
