The present disclosure relates to a hearing apparatus comprising: a bone conduction sensor configured to convert bone vibrations of voice sound information into a bone conduction signal; a signal processing unit configured to implement a synthetic speech generation process, the synthetic speech generation process implementing a speech model; wherein the synthetic speech generation process receives the bone conduction signal as a control input and outputs a synthetic speech signal.

Hearing apparatus with bone conduction sensor

Hearing device and method of power estimation and/or pulse detection in a hearing device is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining a pulse input signal; determining if the pulse input signal satisfies a first rising criterion; in accordance with the input signal satisfying the first rising criterion, increasing a threshold; determining if the pulse input signal satisfies a first down count criterion; in accordance with the pulse input signal satisfying the first down count criterion, initializing a down counter; determining if the down counter satisfies a second down count criterion; in accordance with the down counter satisfying the second down count criterion, decreasing the down counter; determining if the down counter satisfies a pulse detection criterion; and in accordance with the down counter satisfying the pulse detection criterion, outputting a pulse output signal indicative of detection of a pulse.
