Abstract: Disclosed herein, among other things, are systems and methods for spatially differentiated noise reduction for hearing device applications. A method includes sensing sound signals with a hearing device. A front-facing directional beam and a rear-facing directional beam are produced using the sensed sound signals, and the front-facing directional beam and the rear-facing directional beam are combined to obtain an output directional beam. The front-facing directional beam or the output directional beam is compared to the rear-facing directional beam to determine a front-rear differential. Responsive to a determination that the front-rear differential indicates that the rear-facing directional beam is dominant, the amount of noise reduction of the output directional beam is increased. Responsive to a determination that the front-rear differential indicates that the rear-facing directional beam is not dominant, an amount of noise reduction of the output directional beam is reduced.

Abstract: To address the technical problem of varying gain applied to different hearing impaired (HI) patients, a technical solution described herein includes application of a patient-specific noise reduction algorithm based on a patient-specific signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss function. HI patients vary in their ability to extract information in a given signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment. However, noise reduction algorithms often include a single noise reduction function for all SNR loss functions. For a HI patient with significant SNR-loss, they will receive little noise reduction in SNR conditions where the patient gains no benefit from the sound. Technical solutions described herein includes determining a HI patient's ability to extract information for various SNR values, and then using specific NR algorithm attenuation for specific SNR values according to the HI patient's determined ability to extract information.

Abstract: Improved adaptive feedback cancellation may be used to improve performance of audio amplification systems, such as hearing assistance devices, sound reinforcement systems, telephony, and other acoustic amplification and reproduction systems. This adaptive feedback cancellation allows a significant increase in the maximum stable gain of the amplification system, such as by increasing gain while reducing or eliminating feedback. This improves the audibility provided by an audio amplification system. This may provide particular improvements for hearing assistance devices that include open fittings or otherwise have substantial acoustic leakage. This adaptive feedback cancellation provides additional protection from a dynamically changing acoustic leakage by continually updating itself to model the changes, thereby providing increased gain while reducing or eliminating feedback.
