Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0019770A1] The invention relates to a hearing aid which contains a signal processing unit (18) for amplifying and/or muffling signal portions of at least two microphone signals (MIC1, MIC2) in a directional manner. The hearing aid is also provided with a signal analyzing unit (16) which is capable of changing at least one property of the directional amplification and/or muffling. A method for processing microphone signals in a hearing aid is characterized by the corresponding features. The invention provides a hearing aid which is characterized by high quality of transmission and noise suppression over a wide range of hearing situations.
