Patent attributes
System and methods for selectively amplifying audio signals are disclosed. In one implementation, a method includes receiving at least one image of a plurality of images captured by a wearable camera; receiving a first audio signal representative of the sounds captured by a microphone; determining a looking direction of a user; and processing the first audio signal by amplifying audio coming from the looking direction of the user and attenuating audio coming from at least one other direction; receiving a second audio signal representative of the sounds captured by a hearing interface device; transmitting the second audio signal to a speaker associated with the hearing interface device; transmitting an additional audio signal to the speaker, wherein the transmission of the additional audio signal at least partially overlaps the transmission of the second audio signal; and transmitting the processed first audio signal to the speaker.
