Original Abstract Submitted

various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that sense, assess, measure, or otherwise determine user attention to selectively transmit or deliver audio from an audio source (e.g., a talking user's voice captured by their device, a tv, etc.) to one or more listening users' devices and/or adjusts audio cancellation/transparency of environmental noise on the one or more listening users' devices in a multi-person setting.
