Abstract:
A method improves a picked-up signal in a hearing system. The hearing system has at least one hearing device, particularly a hearing aid. The hearing aid device has an associated first directional microphone that has an adjustable first directional characteristic with a preferential direction. The first directional microphone converts sound into a first signal that is adopted in the picked-up signal. A speech activity of a user of the hearing system is monitored, and recognition of a speech activity of the user prompts the preferential direction of the first directional characteristic to be adjusted in comparison with a frontal direction of the user such that the sound sensitivity of the first directional microphone undergoes attenuation in the frontal direction.

Claim (Index 5):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the hearing system further contains a further hearing device having an associated second directional microphone, the method further comprises:\n converting, via the second directional microphone, the sound into a second signal that is adopted in the picked-up signal; and prompting a preferential direction of a second directional characteristic to be adjusted in comparison with the frontal direction of the user such that the second directional characteristic undergoes attenuation in the frontal direction upon recognition of the speech activity of the user.
