Abstract
A hearing device (2) comprises a recording unit (5) for recording an input signal (I), an audio processing unit (6) for determining an output signal (0) and a playback unit (7) for playing back the output signal (0) to a user (U). The audio processing unit (6) comprises a neural network (8) for separating a user voice signal (u) from the input signal (I). Further, a system (1) and a method for processing audio signals are described.
Claims20
A hearing device comprising:
- a recording unit for recording an input signal,
- an audio processing unit for determining an output signal,
- wherein the audio processing unit comprises a neural network for separating a user voice signal from the input signal, and
- a playback unit for playing back the output signal to a user.
1 more element
A system for processing audio signals, comprising
- a hearing device comprising an audio processing unit for determining an output signal,
- wherein the audio processing unit comprises a first neural network for separating a user voice signal from the input signal,
- a secondary device, wherein the secondary device comprises a secondary audio processing unit for determining a secondary output signal, wherein the secondary audio processing unit comprises a secondary neural network for denoising, at least parts of a secondary input signal, wherein the secondary device configured to form a wireless data connection with the hearing device for transmitting at least parts of the secondary output signal to the hearing device and/or to receive the secondary input signal from the hearing device.
A method for processing audio signals, the method comprising:
- recording an input signal using the recoding unit,
- determining an output signal using the audio processing unit,
- wherein a user voice signal is separated from the input signal by the neural network, providing the output signal to the user using a hearing device.
