It is a particular feature of the present invention that the individual ear noise suppression assemblies 14, although located in the close vicinity of each ear of a patient, do not block sound from reaching the patient.
- a dental practitioner is supplied with a microphone 16, preferably associated with a wireless transmitter 18 for enabling instructions or other verbal communications from the dental practitioner to reach the patient without substantial suppression or distortion thereof.
- the microphone 16 is a throat microphone, such as that commercially available from Earmark, Inc. of Hamden, Connecticut, U.S.A.
- each individual ear noise suppression assembly 14 preferably comprises a microphone 20, located in the vicinity of the patients, ear..which.

- Digital signal processor 32 is operative to provide a digital noise cancellation signal which causes the sound sensed by microphone 20, adjacent each ear of the patient, to be identical to that sensed by microphone 16, which is preferably only the voice of the dental practitioner
- microphone 16 may be eliminated
- digital signal processor 32 is operative to provide a digital noise cancellation signal which causes the sound sensed by microphone 20 to be zero, insofar as possible

- the individual ear noise suppression assembly 14 in general, and the digital signal processor 32 in particular provide an adaptive filtering functionality, thus providing highly effective noise cancellation
- This functionality is provided typically by means of suitable software resident in digital signal processor 32, which expresses an algorithm, which is now described in detail with reference to the flow chart of Fig 4
- phase shift ensures that the speech of the dental practitioner is not cancelled by the system

- Hn * i (/) k * Diff * + H tripod(z) where k is a constant that determines the speed of convergence. 5 This process is preferably carried out at least 100 times in order to obtain acceptable convergence.
- N is the magnitude of the vector H(i). 25 H(i) represents the sound transfer function.
- the system output as heard by the patient is then estimated as follows:
- the current element of the D vector is calculated as sst forth hereinbelow This vector includes the difference between the inputs of the microphones 16 and 20 and the predicted system output: where X is an input from the digital sample of the sound picked up by microphones 16 and 20 as shown hereinbelow.
- the vector D(l) is shifted so the new difference becomes the first element of the vector D(l) and the last difference is discarded .

- the input X which is fed to the system algorithm is preferably calculated in the following manner:
- X X ⁇ (n) - X ⁇ (n - d) * r
- X2 is the input from microphone 16
