Abstract
An exemplary hearing device is configured to determine a first and a second sound pressure level (SPL) of a first and second spectral portion, respectively, of an ipsilateral audio signal representative of audio content. The first and second spectral portions have frequencies included in a first and a second frequency range, respectively, with the second frequency range being higher than the first frequency range. The device may further determine that the first SPL is greater than the second SPL by at least a threshold SPL amount and determine that a symmetry level between the ipsilateral and a contralateral audio signal is at least a threshold symmetry level. Based on these determinations, the hearing device may determine that the audio content comprises own voice content.
