1. A controlling method of a wearable electronic apparatus worn on user's ears, the controlling method comprising:
receiving, by an inertial measurement unit sensor, a bone conduction signal corresponding to vibration generated in the user's face, while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in an active noise cancellation (ANC) mode;
based on analyzing an energy of the bone conduction signal while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the ANC mode, identifying a dialog situation or a humming situation;
based on identifying the dialog situation while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the ANC mode, controlling an operation mode of the wearable electronic apparatus to be a different operation mode from the ANC mode;
while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the different operation mode, identifying the dialog situation or the humming situation based on the bone conduction signal;
based on an absence of the dialog situation being identified for a predetermined time while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the different operation mode, controlling the different operation mode to return to the ANC mode; and
based on a presence of the dialog situation being identified within the predetermined time while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the different operation mode, controlling the different operation mode to be maintained.
