A method for processing and iteratively enhancing and estimating a source audio signal received at two audio receivers is provided. In one embodiment, the method involves the use of codebook constrained iterative binaural Wiener filter (CCIBWF). The provided CCIBWF embodiment can improve the quality of speech received at two audio receivers both in terms of noise reduction and speech intelligibility. In one embodiment, optimum speech enhancement performance was achieved within two iterations of the CCIBWF scheme. Further, the embodiment of the CCIBWF scheme introduces minimal distortion to the binaural cues, such as the interaural time delay cues, thereby preserving localization information of the audio source. The embodiment of the CCIBWF is also able to relatively accurately track the Time Delay of Arrival (TDOA) when the audio source is moving. This ensures that the performance of the CCIBWF scheme is not significantly degraded due to the selection of wrong codebooks.
