Abstract:
A hearing device includes: first and second primary microphones for provision of first and second primary microphone input signals; a secondary microphone for provision of a secondary microphone input signal; a mixing module for provision of a mixer output based on a primary mixer input and/or a secondary mixer input, primary mixer input being based on the first and second primary microphone input signals, the secondary mixer input being based on the secondary microphone input signal; a processing unit configured to provide an electrical output signal; and a receiver for converting the electrical output signal to an audio output signal; wherein the mixing controller is configured to increase an amount of the secondary mixer input in the mixer output for a time period after a presence of a sound event is determined, and reduce the amount of the secondary mixer input in the mixer output after the time period.
