Claim 8:
9. A hearing aid comprising:
an auditory canal microphone;
an own voice recognition unit configured to carry out an adaptive own voice recognition; and
a control unit configured to process the auditory canal signal and/or the surround signal during normal operation;
a receiver configured to output the processed signal for compensating a hearing deficit of the wearer; and
said own voice recognition unit being configured to start a training of said adaptive own voice recognition based on a signal output by said auditory canal microphone, wherein the training is configured to start automatically during a normal operation of the hearing aid, and speech sequences and/or noise sequences defined in advance for the purposes of training the own voice recognition are not used during normal operation, and said own voice recognition unit being configured to determine a convergence value which represents a measure or quality for recognizing the own voice by the own voice recognition, and to admit or omit a further training depending on the convergence value and to deduce the presence of the own voice based on the convergence value.
