Abstract:
A hearing device includes: a first microphone and a second microphone for provision of a first microphone input signal and a second microphone input signal, respectively; a voice detector module configured to process the first microphone input signal and the second microphone input signal, the voice detector module configured to detect own-voice of a user of the hearing device; a processor configured to process the first microphone input signal and the second microphone input signal for provision of an electrical output signal based on the first microphone input signal and the second microphone input signal; and a receiver configured to convert the electrical output signal to an audio output signal; wherein the voice detector module is configured to notify a detection of the own-voice to the processor if at least two of a first voice criterion, a second voice criterion, and a third voice criterion are satisfied.
