Patent ID: 8396234

Claim:
A method for reducing noise in an input signal ( 110 ) of a hearing device comprising a transfer function (H), the method comprising the steps of: capturing first and second acoustic signals by first and second acoustic-electric converters ( 1 , 2 ), providing first and second input signals ( 110 , 311 ) by the first and the second acoustic-electric converters ( 1 , 2 ), deriving an information signal ( 410 ) by using the first and the second input signals ( 110 , 311 ), deriving an information signal estimate (S) from the information signal ( 410 ), deriving a noise signal ( 411 ) by using the first and the second input signals ( 110 , 311 ), deriving a noise signal estimate (N) from the noise signal ( 411 ), generating instantaneous coefficients ( 412 , 312 ) for the transfer function (H) by using the information signal estimate (S) and the noise signal estimate (N), applying the transfer function (H) to the first input signal ( 110 ) or to a processed first input signal ( 410 ) generating an output signal ( 111 ), and feeding the output signal ( 111 ) to an electro-acoustic converter ( 5 ) of the hearing device.
