The ambient noise may affect a telephone conversation with earphones when a microphone is located outside ear. The earphones with in-ear-microphone can mitigate this problem. However the in-ear-microphone suppresses the first formant and also weakens the harmonics. We propose a new array of compensation filters to enhance the signal quality for earphones with the in-ear microphone, which helps a comfortable telephone conversation even in the ambient noise environment. The proposed method showed enhanced results in the MOS test and spectrogram.
