Abstract: A hearing aid and a method performed by a hearing aid including at least one microphone unit, an accelerometer unit, and a processor. The method performed by the hearing aid includes generating a processed microphone signal including attenuating the microphone signal in accordance with an attenuation value; wherein the attenuation value is based on a measure of correlation between a microphone signal from the microphone unit and an acceleration signal from the accelerometer unit. The hearing aid instantly reduces noise arising from mechanical handling of the hearing aid based on input from the microphone unit and the accelerometer unit.

Abstract: A hearing aid includes a forward path for processing sound from the user's environment. The forward path includes a) a first microphone providing a first electric input signal representing sound as received at the first microphone, the first microphone being located away from an ear canal of the user, b) an audio signal processor for processing the first electric input signal, or a signal or signals originating therefrom, and for providing a processed signal, c) an output transducer for providing stimuli perceivable as sound to the user in dependence of the processed signal, and d) a second microphone configured to provide a second electric input signal representing sound received at the second microphone, the second microphone being located at or in the user's ear canal, and e) a feature extractor for extracting acoustic characteristics of the user's ear from the second electric input signal, or a signal originating therefrom.

Abstract: A method and wireless communication device use a first processing unit to perform a first communication event within a first communication window by use of a first communication protocol, a second processing unit to perform a second communication event within a second communication window by use of a second communication protocol, and a wireless communication unit connected to a radio-frequency antenna to transmit and/or receive a packet wirelessly. The first and second processing units may perform the first and second communication events via the wireless communication unit. The second processing unit or the wireless communication unit may transmit an event signal to the first processing unit when performing the second communication event or receiving a packet, respectively, to allow the first processing unit to arrange the first communication window (or first communication event) with respect to the second communication window (or second communication event) to minimize interference.

Abstract: A method of estimating a real-ear-to-coupler-difference (RECD) in a hearing is provided. The hearing aid comprises an input transducer; an output transducer; and an ITE-part configured to define a residual volume when mounted in an ear canal of a user. The method comprises providing an earpiece configured to fit tightly to walls of an ear canal of the user and to provide said residual volume; that the earpiece comprises at least one ventilation channel or opening; a sound outlet allowing sound from said output transducer to be played into said residual volume; characteristics of the at least one ventilation channel or opening; a frequency dependent feedback path estimate from said output transducer to said input transducer through said ventilation channel or opening; and estimating a low-frequency and high frequency RECD values in dependence said feedback path estimate; and determining estimated frequency dependent RECD values in dependence of said estimated low-frequency RECD value, and said estimated high-frequency RECD value.

Abstract: A hearing system comprises a hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid or a headset, configured to be worn by a user. The hearing device comprises at least one input transducer for providing at least one electric input signal representative of sound in the environment of the hearing device, wherein said at least one electric input signal comprises a target signal component assumed to be of current interest to the user, and a noise component. The hearing device further comprises a noise control system configured to provide an estimate of said target signal component and an estimate of said noise component and to apply a statistical structure to said noise component to thereby provide a modified noise component comprising said statistical structure; and to determine a modified estimate of said target signal component in dependence of said modified noise component. Thereby an improved segregation of sound sources may be provided.
