The echo canceler has a basic structure includes a power control section controlling a power for a speech reception voice, a first filtering section removing a particular component from an output of the power control section, an echo canceling section removing echo components of a speech reception voice, which are added to a speech transmission voice, a second filtering section filtering particular components of the speech reception and transmission voices, and a state judgement section judging existences of the speech reception and transmission voices from an output of the second filtering section and controlling a power attenuation amount of the power control section based on the judgement result.
