Abstract
A wearable device outputting a sound for an object of interest and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a wearable device may comprise at least one microphone, at least one speaker, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to identify an object of interest of a user wearing the wearable device, obtain a sound signal generated from the identified object of interest using the at least one microphone, and output the sound signal generated from the object of interest through the at least one speaker or output a sound related to the object of interest through the at least one speaker, based on a sensitivity of the obtained sound signal.
