METHOD OF SIGNAL PROCESSING IN A HEARING AID SYSTEM AND A HEARING AID SYSTEM

摘要

A method of processing signals in a hearing aid system (200, 300) comprises the steps of transforming two audio signals to the time-frequency domain, calculating a value representing the interaural coherence, deriving a first gain based on the interaural coherence, applying the first gain value in the amplification of the time-frequency signals, and transforming the signals back into the time domain for further processing in the hearing aid in order to alleviate a hearing deficit of the user of the hearing aid system, and wherein the relation determining the first gain value as a function of the value representing the interaural coherence comprises three contiguous ranges for the values representing the interaural coherence, where the maximum slope in the first and third range are smaller than the maximum slope in the second range and wherein the ranges are defined such that the first range comprises values representing low interaural coherence values, the third range comprises values representing high interaural coherence values and the second range comprises values representing intervening interaural coherence values. The invention further provides a hearing aid system (200, 300) adapted for suppression of interfering speakers.
