Abstract:
A hearing aid comprises a) first and second microphones b) an adaptive beamformer filtering unit comprising, b1) a memory comprising a first and second sets of complex frequency dependent weighting parameters representing a first and second beam patterns, b3) an adaptive beamformer processing unit providing an adaptation parameter βopt(k) representing an adaptive beam pattern, b4) a memory comprising a fixed adaptation parameter βfix(k) representing a third, fixed beam pattern, b5) a mixing unit providing a resulting complex, frequency dependent adaptation parameter βmix(k) as a combination of said fixed and adaptively determined frequency dependent adaptation parameters βfix(k) and βopt(k), respectively, and b6) a resulting beamformer (Y) for providing a resulting beamformed signal YBF based on first and second microphone signals, said first and second sets of complex frequency dependent weighting parameters, and said resulting complex, frequency dependent adaptation parameter βmix(k).
