Abstract: A hearing aid (100) fits in an ear of a user and amplifies a sound and outputs the amplified sound. Specifically, the hearing aid includes: a microphone (110) as a pick-up unit which picks up the sound; a wireless communicating unit (130) which receives, from an external apparatus connected via wireless, an instruction for outputting a searching sound, the instruction for outputting a searching sound which is used for outputting a searching sound; an amplifier (140) which amplifies the outputted sound; an earphone (150) as an outputting unit which outputs the sound amplified by the amplifier (140); and an operation switching unit (120) which switches between a hearing mode and a searched mode, the hearing mode causing the amplifier (140) to amplify a hearing sound which is a sound picked up by the microphone (110) with a use of a first amplification factor, and the searched mode causing the amplifier (140) to amplify the searching sound, in response to the reception of the instruction for outputting a searching sound, with a use of a second amplification factor greater than the first amplification factor.

Abstract: A hearing aid processing apparatus includes audio input units that receive input audio; hearing aid signal processing units that generate first and second output signals each having different frequency characteristics, from the input audio received by the audio input units, based on the characteristics of the band pass filter having the greatest bandwidth among virtual band pass filters composing an auditory filter of a listener. A first audio output unit outputs, as an audio, the first output signal generated by the hearing aid signal processing unit to the left ear of the listener; and a second audio output unit outputs, as an audio, the second output signal generated by the hearing aid signal processing unit to the right ear of the listener.
