Abstract:
A method operates a hearing device. A first input signal is generated by a first input transducer of the hearing device from an ambient sound signal. An external input transducer outside of the hearing device generates an external input signal from the ambient sound signal. A relative transfer function from the external input transducer to the hearing device with respect to a target signal source is ascertained based on the first input signal and/or external input signal. The external input signal is filtered by the relative transfer function, thereby generating an estimated target signal. Noise suppression takes place in the hearing device based on the estimated target signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for operating a hearing device, which comprises the steps of:\n generating, via a first input transducer of the hearing device, a first input signal from an ambient sound signal; generating, via an external input transducer, an external input signal outside the hearing device from the ambient sound signal; ascertaining a relative transfer function from the external input transducer to the hearing device with respect to a target signal source based on the first input signal and/or external input signal; filtering the external input signal using the relative transfer function resulting in an estimated target signal being generated; and performing noise suppression in the hearing device based on the estimated target signal.
