Abstract
An exemplary hearing device is configured to receive a first signal output by a local microphone that is a part of the hearing device at a first location. The first signal is representative of a degraded version of audio content as detected by the local microphone. The audio content is provided by an audio source at a second location. The hearing device is further configured to receive a second signal from a remote microphone system located in proximity of the second location. The second signal is representative of a cleaner version of the audio content as detected by the remote microphone system. The hearing device is further configured to determine a relatedness factor between the first signal and the second signal and apply, based on the relatedness factor, a signal enhancing operation to the first signal to output an enhanced first signal.
