Abstract:
A hearing aid capable of detecting contact vibration noise from a collected sound signal. The hearing aid is provided with two microphones, a vibration component extracting section that extracts from collected sound signals respectively obtained by the two microphones an uncorrelated component between two collected sound signals as a vibration component for each frequency band. Additionally, a vibration noise identifying section determines whether or not a contact noise occurs based on the vibration component for each frequency band extracted by the vibration component extracting section, an acoustic signal processing section, when generating an acoustic signal by hearing aid processing of the two collected sound signals, processes the acoustic signal depending on the presence or absence of the occurrence of the contact vibration noise, and a receiver converts the acoustic signal to sound.
