Abstract (en)
This invention relates to a hearing device (100,300) for processing sound and comprising a plurality of filterbanks (104,108) for splitting electric sound signals into a series of frequency channel signals (fc 1 to fc N ), a series of decision units (116 1 to 116 N ) each comprising a summing module (118,120) for summing frequency channel signals of said specific frequency channels (fc 1 to fc N ) thereby generating an omni-directional (O 1 to O N ) and directional signal (D 1 to D N ), and a mixing module (126,128,130) for mixing said omni-directional (O 1 to O N ) and directional signals (D 1 to D N ) according to content thereof and to generate a channel-specific signal, a merging unit (132) connected to said series of decision units (116 1 to 116 N ) and adapted to receive said channel-specific signals and to merge said channel-specific signals into an output signal.
