Hearing device and a binaural hearing system comprising a binaural noise reduction system

摘要

The application relates to a hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, adapted for being located at or in an ear of a user, or for being fully or partially implanted in the head of the user. The application further relates to a method of operating a hearing device. The hearing device comprises a) an input unit for providing at least one electric input signal in a frequency sub-band representation comprising a number K of frequency bands, b) a frequency band to channel allocation unit for allocating said K frequency bands to a number N of frequency channels for each of said electric input signals, wherein KN; c) antenna and transceiver circuitry allowing reception of at least one further electric signal in said N frequency channels from another device, e.g. another hearing device, d) a first beamformer filtering unit for providing at least one channel beamformer based on said at least one electric input signal and said at least one further electric signal received from said other device, in said N frequency channels. The hearing device may further comprise a level to gain transformation unit for receiving said at least one channel beamformer and providing a post filter gain for each frequency channel in dependence thereof. The invention may e.g. be used in binaural hearing aid systems.
