  • Patent number: 10075782
    Abstract: A hearing aid (100) having a microphone, a signal processing unit, an electrical-acoustical output transducer, a housing (101) and a wind shield cover (102) wherein the housing has a surface with a microphone inlet (112, 113), and the wind shield cover is adapted to be attached to the housing, to cover the microphone inlet, to provide for sound to be guided in a gap between the wind shield cover and the housing, hereby providing for the transmission of sound from the surroundings and to said microphone inlet, wherein a first dimension of a cross-section of the gap is in the range between 0.15 mm and 0.5 mm, and wherein the minimum distance, along the gap, from the microphone inlet and to the opening of the gap, towards the surroundings, is at least 1 mm.

  • Patent number: 9584929
    Abstract: A processing unit that adaptively suppresses wind noise in a hearing aid is provided. The processing unit (100) comprises a first microphone (105) and a second microphone (106). The analog signal from the first microphone is converted to a first digital signal (107) in a first A/D converter (113) and the analog signal from the second microphone is converted to a second digital signal (108) in a second A/D converter (114). The output of the first A/D converter is operationally connected to a first input of a subtraction node (111). The output of the second A/D converter is operationally connected to the input of an adaptive filter (109). The output of the adaptive filter (109) is branched and in a first branch operationally connected to the second input of the subtraction node (111) and in a second branch operationally connected to the input of the remaining signal processing in the hearing aid.
