Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of signal enhancing using noise reduction connectivity is disclosed. The disclosure may be used in a hearing aid receiving an external signal from an external device, wherein the external signal includes a description of a noise produced by a noisy device in the surrounding of the hearing aid. The hearing aid can include a processor for processing the input audio signal, based on the external signal to provide a noise reduced signal. The hearing aid can further include an output unit for outputting the noise reduced signal to the user.
