US Patent 10070231 Hearing device with input transducer and wireless receiver

The present disclosure regards a hearing device comprising a power source, electric circuitry, a loudspeaker, at least one microphone for sound from an acoustic environment, and at least one wireless receiver for wirelessly received sound signals. The microphone is configured to generate an environment sound signal. The wireless receiver is configured generate a source sound signal. The electric circuitry is configured to estimate at least one parameter of an impulse response from the location of the origin of the wirelessly received signal to the location of a user of the hearing device in dependence on the source sound signal and the environment sound signal. The electric circuitry is further configured to process the environment sound signal in dependence on the estimated at least one impulse-response parameter, thereby generating an output sound signal. The output sound signal is processed into sound by the loudspeaker.
