A hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, comprises first and second separate, interconnectable parts comprising first and second input transducers, respectively, for providing first and second electric input signals, respectively, representative of sound in an environment of the user, and a beamformer filtering unit configured to provide a spatially filtered signal based thereon, and a memory comprising a previously determined own voice transfer function corresponding to a target sound source located at said user's mouth. The hearing device is configured to determine an updated own voice transfer function according to activation of a predefined trigger, when the user's own voice is present, and to store an updated own voice transfer function in said memory. The hearing device further comprises at least one combination unit configured to apply a first multiplication factor to at least one of the first and second electric input signals, and a control unit configured to determine the first multiplication factor so as to decrease, e.g. minimize a difference measure representative of a difference between the previously determined own voice transfer function and the updated own voice transfer function.
A hearing device configured to be worn by a user, the hearing device comprising first and second separate parts, the first part comprising a first input transducer providing a first electric input signal representative of sound in an environment of the user, and the second part comprising a second input transducer providing a second electric input signal representative of sound in the environment of the user, wherein the first and second parts are electrically connectable with each other via a wired or wireless connection, and wherein the hearing device further
