Assignee: OTICON A/S
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 13:
14. Method comprising
receiving an input sound signal from an environment of a hearing aid user and providing at least one electric input signal representing said input sound signal, by an input unit,
determining speech in the input sound signal, by a voice activity detector (VAD),
determining own voice of the hearing aid user in the input sound signal, by an own voice detector (OVD),
determining turn-taking behaviour of the hearing aid user, by a turn-taking determining unit,
adjusting signal processing parameters based on the determined turn-taking behavior of the hearing aid user,
providing processed versions of said at least one electric input signal, by a processing unit connected to said input unit and to an output unit and comprising said adjusted signal processing parameters of the hearing aid,
providing at least one set of stimuli perceivable as sound to the hearing aid user based on the processed versions of said at least one electric input signal, by the output unit,
determining a confidence level of the determined turn-taking behavior, by the processing unit,
establishing a communication link to another hearing aid by an antenna and transceiver circuitry thereby allowing the exchange of information with the other hearing aid, and
communicating the determined turn-taking behaviour to the other hearing aid.
