Abstract

The present invention provides hearing devices, methods and hearing systems. The invention provides a hearing device comprising: a microphone set including a first microphone for providing a first microphone input signal; and a processor for processing the input signal and providing an electrical output signal based on the input signal. The hearing device includes: a receiver for converting an electrical output signal into an audio output signal; and a controller operatively connected to the set of microphones, the controller including a speech intelligibility estimator for to estimate the speech intelligibility indicator indicating speech intelligibility. The controller is configured to control the processor based on the speech intelligibility indicator. The speech intelligibility estimator includes a pitch estimator for estimating pitch parameters of the first audio source. The speech intelligibility indicator is based on pitch parameters and direction of the first audio source.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hearing device, a method of operating a hearing device and a hearing system. Background technique [0002] One of the major problems encountered by hearing aid (HA) users is severely reduced speech intelligibility in noisy multi-person conversation environments such as the "cocktail party problem". In general, speech intelligibility for users of hearing aids depends largely on the specific listening environment. As such, speech enhancement processing schemes may be beneficial in some listening environments and detrimental in others. Speech enhancement processing schemes do not necessarily improve speech intelligibility in every environment. Contents of the invention [0003] Therefore, there is a need for a hearing device, method and hearing system that overcome the deficiencies in the background art. [0004] A hearing device is disclosed comprising: a microphone set including a first microphone for providing a first mi...
