Method and apparatus for audio pass-through

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• detecting a first audio signal within a received ambient audio signal, the received ambient audio signal including the first audio signal and background noise;
• determining the first audio signal meets a priority level, the priority level based at least in part on a characteristic of the first audio signal;
• isolating the first audio signal from the ambient audio signal to generate an isolated first audio signal, absent the background noise;
• playing the isolated first audio signal;
• receiving feedback, from a user, in response to the isolated first audio signal, after the isolated first audio signal is played;
• and
• in response to the feedback, adjusting the priority level.

A system, comprising:

• a speaker;
• a microphone;
• a processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• detect a first audio signal within a received ambient audio signal, the received ambient audio signal including the first audio signal and background noise;
• determine the first audio signal meets a priority level for pass-through to a user, the priority level associated, at least in part, with a predetermined property of the first audio signal;
• isolate the first audio signal from the ambient audio signal to generate an isolated first audio signal, absent the background noise;
• play the isolated first audio signal, via the speaker;
• receive first feedback, from the user, after the isolated first audio signal is played via the speaker;
• receive second feedback, from the user, in response to the isolated first audio signal;
• and
• stop playing the isolated first audio signal, in response to the second feedback.
