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

Claim 0:
1. Hearing aid adapted to be worn in or at an ear of a hearing aid user and/or to be fully or partially implanted in the head of the hearing aid user, the hearing aid comprising:
an input unit for 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,
an output unit for providing at least one set of stimuli perceivable as sound to the hearing aid user based on processed versions of said at least one electric input signal,
a voice activity detector (VAD) configured to determine speech in the input sound signal,
an own voice detector (OVD) configured to determine own voice of the hearing aid user in the input sound signal,
a processing unit connected to said input unit and to said output unit and comprising signal processing parameters of the hearing aid to provide processed versions of said at least one electric input signal,
a turn-taking determining unit configured to determine turn-taking behaviour of the hearing aid user,
an antenna, and
a transceiver circuitry for establishing a communication link to another hearing aid, and thereby allowing the exchange of information with the other hearing aid,
wherein the processing unit is configured to adjust said signal processing parameters based on the determined turn-taking behavior of the hearing aid user,
wherein the processing unit is configured to determine a confidence level of the determined turn-taking behavior, and
wherein the hearing aid is configured to communicate the determined turn-taking behaviour to the other hearing aid.
