摘要： A hearing aid is fitted to an individual and/or the individual is trained in hearing with the hearing aid. In a first step a stimulus signal is provided. In a second step, the stimulus is presented to the individual. In a third step, a response of the individual in regard to the stimulus is obtained. In a fourth step a hearing aid parameter is adjusted based on the response. In an alternative or additional fourth step, a further stimulus signal is selected based on the response. The second step of presenting the stimulus signal comprises the sub-steps of obtaining a first and second signal based on the stimulus signal. In a further sub-step, the first signal is processed and presented by the hearing aid. Simultaneously, in a further sub-step, the second signal is presented by a supplementary loudspeaker for improving the stimulus presentation in regard to direct sound.

摘要： A system for speech enhancement in a room having a directional lapel microphone arrangement for capturing an audio signal from a speaker's voice; audio signal processor for generating a processed audio signal from the captured audio signal, and an adaptive beamformer unit for imparting directivity to the microphone arrangement provides maximum sensitivity towards the speaker's mouth and minimum sensitivity towards noise sources identified by the beamformer unit. A unit shifts the frequency of components of the audio signal above a frequency threshold value only. A feedback cancelling unit has an adaptive filter and a selection unit which automatically switches between a first mode causing the audio signal to by-pass the adaptive filter and a second mode in which the audio signal is filtered by the adaptive filter. A loudspeaker arrangement generates sound according to the processed audio signal and has plural loudspeakers arranged to form a directional loudspeaker array.
