Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques, including devices and systems implementing the techniques, to manage ambient noise in a wearable audio output device to facilitate increased awareness for a user of the wearable audio output device. One example technique for managing ambient noise generally includes determining a first event, ducking an audio level of the wearable audio output device from a first level to a second level based on the determination, monitoring for a second event, and ducking the audio level of the wearable audio output device to a third level based on the monitoring, wherein the second level is different than the third level. Such techniques may help to more accurately determine the occurrence of events that are important to the user and manage the wearable audio output device to facilitate user awareness, as well as mitigate the undesirable consequences of events that are unimportant to the user.
A method for managing ambient noise in a wearable device, the method comprising:
A system, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wearable device, cause the wearable device to perform a method for managing ambient noise, the method comprising:
