ABSTRACT:
A speech processor uses a plurality of speech processing features to enhance the quality of speech signals received by a user during a telephone call. The activation of a second speech processing feature is delayed for a time duration measured after the initiation of a particular call or measured after the activation of a first speech processing feature. This delay eliminates any interference between the second speech processing feature and the first speech processing feature that is active when the call is initiated. The delay also increases the time it takes for the speech processing features to become fully effective, thus making the enhancement in the quality of the speech signals more noticeable to the user. Further, an optionally generated audio indicator is provided when the second speech processing feature is applied so that the additional feature is even more noticeable to the user.
