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 6):
The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the first directional microphone and the second directional microphone are respectively formed by a first single microphone in the one hearing device and by a second single microphone in the further hearing device, and wherein in respect of the first directional characteristic and in respect of the second directional characteristic, signals from the first single microphone and from the second single microphone are processed for the one hearing device and the further hearing device separately.
