Austrian Audio Sensor Company Announces Noise Cancellation for Earbuds

Ams Audio Technology, an Austria-based sensor supplier, introduced a digital noise-cancellation technology for true wireless earbuds. A drawback of “loose-fit” earbuds is the ability for external noise to leak into the ear, said the company. Its ams digital audio technology platform offers “automatic leakage compensation,” adjusting for air leakage between the earbud and the ear in real time, it said. The company’s vision is that earphone makers will let users choose which types and sources of external noise to block out and which to hear, it said. Its automatic preset selection technology lets manufacturers configure desired noise cancellation settings optimized for different types of ambient noise, and they can develop earbuds that will automatically switch from one mode to another depending on the type of noise it detects, it said.
