A listening device comprises a device housing (10,40) worn in the ear, a device housing (20,25) worn outside the ear and an electronic circuit which is divided over the two device housings (10,20). The first device housing comprises an electro-acoustic converter (13) and a first microphone (11). The electronic circuit comprises at least one further microphone (12,21,22). A signal processing device (23) comprises at least one signal input to which the first microphone (11) and the at least one further microphone (12,21,22) are electronically coupled so as to generate a microphone signal thereto. The electro-acoustic converter (13) is connected to a signal output of the processing device (13) which is at least loadable with a processing algorithm and is thus able and configured to calculate and present the output signal as algorithmic resultant of at least the microphone signals from the first microphone (11) and the at least one further microphone (12,21,22).
Personal listening device, in particular a hearing aid, comprising a part worn in the ear intended and configured to be received positioned wholly in an auditory canal of a user, comprising a part worn outside the ear intended and configured to be worn outside the auditory canal on an auricle of the user, and comprising an electronic circuit, wherein the part worn in the ear comprises a first device housing in which a first part of the electronic circuit is accommodated, wherein the part worn outside the ear comprises a second device housing which provides space for a second part of the electronic circuit, characterized in that the first part of the electronic circuit comprises at least an electro-acoustic converter and a first microphone, that the electronic circuit comprises at least one further microphone, that the electronic circuit comprises a signal processing device with at least one signal input to which the first microphone and the at least one further microphone are electronically coupled so as to generate a microphone signal thereto, and with at least one signal output to which the electro-acoustic converter is connected, and that the signal processing device is at least loadable with a processing algorithm and is thus able and configured to calculate and present the output signal as algorithmic resultant of at least the microphone signals from the first microphone and the at least one further microphone.
