Abstract:
An input signal is provided with a low microphone noise in a hearing apparatus. The microphone noise in the input signal of the hearing apparatus is reduced, by the input signal being filtered by a Wiener filter, if a noise power determined at the input signal is smaller than a predetermined limit value. The Wiener filter is however deactivated, if the noise power is greater than the limit value or equal to the limit value.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for reducing inherent microphone noise generated independently of ambient noise in an input signal of a hearing apparatus, which comprises the steps of:\n filtering the input signal, received by a microphone of the hearing apparatus, via a Wiener filter if a noise power determined for the input signal is smaller than a predetermined limit value for assisting in reducing the inherent microphone noise; and deactivating the Wiener filter if the noise power is greater than the predetermined limit value or equal to the predetermined limit value for assisting in reducing the inherent microphone noise.
