Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. The hearing aid of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured, when selectively determining whether to transmit the incoming audio signal to the neural network circuitry for denoising or to transmit the incoming audio signal to the digital signal processing circuitry without denoising by the neural network circuitry, to:
detect a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the incoming audio signal;
compare the detected SNR with a first threshold SNR and a second threshold SNR; and
determine to transmit the incoming audio signal to the digital signal processing circuitry without denoising by the neural network circuitry if the detected SNR is above the first threshold SNR; or below the second threshold SNR.
