Abstract

See full text

Described herein are methods and devices for mixing input signals from multiple audio input sources in a hearing device such as a hearing aid. In one embodiment, a gain is applied to a telecoil signal where the gain is computed so as to depend on the level of a microphone signal. The technique does not depend on the user's audiogram and allows control of the gain for all environments with one adjustment.
