Disclosed is method of generating an audible signal in a hearing aid by estimating a weighting function of received audio signals, the hearing aid is adapted to be worn by a user; the method comprises the steps of:
estimating a directional signal by estimating a weighted sum of two or more microphone signals from two or more microphones, where a first microphone of the two or more microphones is a front microphone, and where a second microphone of the two or more microphones is a rear microphone;
estimating a direction-dependent time-frequency gain, and synthesizing an output signal;
wherein estimating the direction-dependent time-frequency gain comprises:
- obtaining at least two directional signals each containing a time-frequency representation of a target signal and a noise signal; and where a first of the directional signals is defined as a front aiming signal, and where a second of the directional signals is defined as a rear aiming signal;
- using the time-frequency representation of the target signal and the noise signal to estimate a time-frequency mask; and
- using the estimated time-frequency mask to estimate the direction-dependent time-frequency gain.
