  • Patent number: 11729563
    Abstract: A hearing device system includes: first and second hearing devices, each of which comprising at least one microphone, a primary antenna, and a speaker; the hearing device system configured to communicate with an electronic device configured to establish a call between the user and a far-end person; the hearing device system configured to determine a first noise level, N1, of sound received by the at least one microphone of the first hearing device, and a second noise level, N2, of sound received by the at least one microphone of the second hearing device; the hearing device system configured to transmit a voice signal to the electronic device, the voice signal being based on a voice of the user captured by the at least one microphone of the first hearing device when N1<N2, or captured by the at least one microphone of the second hearing device when N1>N2.

  • Patent number: 10560788
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a hearing device. The hearing device comprises a first microphone for provision of a first microphone input signal; a sound impulse suppression module configured for detecting a sound impulse in the first microphone input signal; a processor for processing the first microphone input signal in a processing set of frequency bands to obtain an electrical output signal; and a receiver for converting the electrical output signal to an audio output signal, wherein the sound impulse suppression module is configured to apply a detection scheme on the first microphone input signal, wherein the detection scheme defines a detection set of frequency bands, wherein the frequency bands of the detection set covers a part of the frequency bands of the processing set, and wherein a sound impulse is detected based on the detection set of frequency bands.
