Abstract: A hearing aid includes an input providing an input signal representing sound in an environment, the input signal including no speech signal, or one or more speech signals from one or more speech sound sources and additional signal components, termed noise signal, from one or more other sound sources, an own voice detector, a voice activity detector, and a talker extraction unit to determine and/or receive one or more speech signals as separated one or more speech signals from speech sound sources other than the hearing aid user and to detect the speech signal originating from the voice of the user. The talker extraction unit provides separate signals, each including, or indicating presence of, one of the one or more speech signals. A noise reduction system determines speech overlap and/or gap between the speech signal originating from the user's voice and each of the separated one or more speech signals.

Abstract: A hearing aid comprises at least one input unit for providing at least one stream of samples of an electric input signal in a first domain; at least one encoder configured to convert said at least one stream of samples of the electric input signal in the first domain to at least one stream of samples of the electric input signal in a second domain; a processing unit configured to process said at least one electric input signal in the second domain, to provide a compensation for the user's hearing impairment, and to provide a processed signal as a stream of samples in the second domain; a decoder configured to convert said stream of samples of the processed signal in the second domain to a stream of samples of the processed signal in the first domain. The at least one encoder is configured to convert a first number of samples from said at least one stream of samples of the electric input signal in the first domain to a second number of samples in said at least one stream of samples of the electric input signal in the second domain. The decoder is configured to convert said second number of samples from said stream of samples of the processed signal in the second domain to said first number of samples in said stream of samples of the electric input signal in the first domain. The second number of samples is larger than the first number of samples. The at least one encoder is trained, and at least a part of said processing unit providing said compensation for the user's hearing impairment is implemented as a trained neural network. A method of operating a hearing aid is further disclosed. Thereby an improved hearing aid may be provided.
