Input selection for wind noise reduction on wearable devices

A wearable audio device, comprising:

• a first microphone configured to generate a first microphone signal;
• a second microphone configured to generate a second microphone signal;
• a wind microphone corresponding to a wind microphone signal, wherein (i) the wind microphone is arranged on a portion of a wearable audio device configured to be seated in a concha of a wearer and/or (ii) the wind microphone faces a floor of the concha of the wearer during use;
• a beamformer configured to generate a beamformed signal based on the first microphone signal and the second microphone signal;
• a comparator configured to generate a comparison signal based on the beamformed signal and the wind microphone signal;
• and
• a dynamic voice mixer configured to generate an output voice signal based on the beamformed signal, the wind microphone signal, and the comparison signal.

A method for reducing wind noise, comprising:

• generating, via a wind microphone, a wind microphone signal, wherein (i) the wind microphone is arranged on a portion of a wearable audio device configured to be disposed in a concha of a wearer and/or (ii) the wind microphone faces a floor of the concha of the wearer during use;
• generating, via a first beamformer, a beamformed signal based on a first microphone signal and a second microphone signal;
• generating, via a comparator, a comparison signal based on the beamformed signal and the wind microphone signal;
• and
• generating, via a dynamic voice mixer, an output voice signal based on the beamformed signal, the wind microphone signal, and the comparison signal.
