    Abstract: A hearing aid (60A) configured to be worn by a hearing-impaired user has a speech detector (10A) and a speech enhancer (40A) for enhancing speech being present in an input signal of the hearing aid (60A). The speech detector (10A) has means (11, 12) for independently detecting the presence of voiced and unvoiced speech in order to allow for the speech enhancer (40A) to increase the gain of speech signals suitably fast to incorporate the speech signals themselves. The hearing aid (60A) has means (49A, 50A) for communicating information regarding the detected speech signals wirelessly to a similar hearing aid (60B) worn contralaterally by the user for the purpose of mutually enhancing speech signals in the two hearing aids (60A, 60B) when speech is detected to be originating from the front of the user, and means (52B) for suppressing speech enhancement in the contralateral hearing aid (60B) when speech is detected to be originating from the ipse-lateral side of the user. The invention further provides a method of enhancing speech in a hearing aid.

    Abstract: A multichannel hearing aid (20) comprises at least one frequency channel having a compressor (38) with a compression threshold at an output level below the hearing threshold and an attack time above 0.5 seconds whereby hearing of a sudden sound in a stationary sound environment is facilitated. With this compressor, the amplification of low signal levels may be increased compared to the prior art, as the compressor kicks in to generally suppress steady noises. The gain may generally be increased as high as feasible in view of the microphone baseline noise, which should preferably be kept below the hearing threshold. Thus the user of the hearing aid will generally have the option of a higher gain of low level sounds than generally feasible with prior art hearing aids.

    Abstract: A hearing device includes a digital signal processing unit, a first electrical component, in particular a loudspeaker, and a second electrical component, in particular a microphone. The first electrical component is driven by the signal processing unit by way of two electrical line wires or interference source lines, and the second electrical component is connected to an electrical connecting line or receiver line. Each interference source line transmits a respective digital control signal during operation. To reduce or prevent coupling of interference effects to a signal transmitted via the receiver line, the two control signals fed into the interference source lines by the signal processing unit are modulated so a difference signal pertaining to the two control signals applied to the first electrical component is formed as a bipolar control signal alternating between precisely two voltage values, and a common mode signal formed from the two control signals is constant.
