Abstract (en)
Disclosed herein is a hearing aid. In some examples, the hearing aid includes an input unit configured to convert a sound in an environment of the hearing aid to at least one electrical input signal representative of the sound. The hearing aid can include an ultrasonic transceiver configured to output an ultrasonic signal and to receive a reflected ultrasonic signal from the environment. The hearing aid can include a signal processor configured to determine, based on the reflected ultrasonic signal and optionally the at least one electrical input signal, an audio parameter indicative of an object in the environment.
