Abstract
This application discloses a method for reducing an occlusion effect of an earphone, and a related apparatus. The method is applied to an earphone having at least one microphone and a speaker. The method includes: detecting an occurrence of at least one of the following events: a user speaks and the user is in motion; and triggering at least one of the following operations in response to the at least one event: processing the user's sound signal based on the at least one microphone to suppress an occlusion effect of the earphone, and playing an audio by using the speaker, to mask a sound signal in the user's auditory canal. Embodiments of this application can reduce or even eliminate the earphone occlusion effect, to improve user experience.
