Patent

CA 2154348

An ear defender having one or more microphones (1) for detecting the sound level in the proximity of the wearer's ear, one or more speakers (4) for generating a noise reduction signal within the earshell, and a digital feedback controller (W) for generating a feedback signal derived from the output of the microphones and for applying said feedback signal to the speaker inputs, and estimation means (F') for providing an estimation of the earshell transfer function and subtracting from the input to the feedback controller a signal representing the estimated electroacoustic transfer function of the system. The operation of the digital feedback controller may be controllable by the output of a computational circuit (C) operable on the difference between the microphone output and the feedback controller input modified by a model (F") of the electroacoustic transfer function. A second, analogue or digital, feedback controller (W') may be included to provide an approximate feedback signal to the speakers and to improve the impulse response of the system.
