an electronic input for provision of a monaural audio signal in response to a wireless signal received by the hearing aid; an ITE microphone housing accommodating at least one ITE microphone, the at least one ITE microphone configured to provide an output signal; a filter for filtering the monaural audio signal and configured to output an output signal, wherein the filter is configured to:
phase shift the monaural audio signal based on the output signal of the at least one ITE microphone, orapply a gain for the monaural audio signal based on the output signal of the at least one ITE microphone, orphase shift and apply the gain for the monaural audio signal based on the output signal of the at least one ITE microphone; a processor configured to generate a hearing loss compensated output signal based on the output signal of the filter, and a receiver for conversion of the hearing loss compensated output signal into an acoustic signal for transmission towards an eardrum of a user of the hearing aid. |
