Abstract
A hearing aid comprises a multitude M≥2 microphones adapted for providing M electric input signals (x) representative of an environment of a user, at least one beamformer for generating at least one beamformed signal in dependence of beamformer weights (w) configured to be applied to said electric input signals, thereby providing said at least one beamformed signal (Y) as a weighted sum of the M of electric input signals. The beamformer weights (w) are adaptively optimized to a plurality of target positions (θ) by maximizing a target signal to noise ratio (SNR) for sound from the target positions (θ).
