Abstract (en)

A method for reducing noise in a sound signal of a hearing device (10) comprises: receiving an inside channel sound signal (Si) from a first microphone (12) in an ear channel of a user, a first outside channel sound signal (S) from a second microphone (14) outside of the ear channel and a second outside channel sound signal (S) from a third microphone (16) outside of the ear channel; determining a desired signal (S) from the first and second outside channel sound signals (S, S) and a disturb signal (SD) from the first and second outside channel sound signals; determining a frequency band dependent weight factor (ω) by dividing a magnitude value of the desired signal (S) in a frequency band through at least a magnitude value of the disturb signal (S) in the frequency band; and generating a noise reduced sound signal (S) by multiplying the inside channel sound signal (S) with the weight factor (ω).
