Real-ear zoom hearing device |
(57) There is proposed a hearing device with a behind-the-ear microphone arrangement (1)
not to be placed in the ear canal (5) whereat beamforming (9) provides for substantially
constant amplification independent of direction of arrival of an acoustical signal
at a predetermined frequency (10) and provides above such frequency directivity so
as to reestablish a head-related-transfer-function of the individual.
