1. A method for providing feedback to a user of a wearable device comprising:
measuring ambient sound using two or more microphones on the wearable device;
determining an event based on the measured ambient sound exceeding a threshold, wherein the threshold varies in two or more different configuration events corresponding to two or more different situational criteria; and
providing feedback to the user based on the determined event and the measured ambient sound exceeding the threshold,
wherein the two or more configuration events are defined by at least two of i) a decibel level, ii) a property of the ambient sound, or iii) a location relative to the user.
