Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for mitigating the impact of noise, such a low-frequency noise caused by wind, on sounds received at a hearing prosthesis. An example method includes receiving an external sound signal transduced externally to a recipient from an ambient sound and an internal sound signal transduced internally to the recipient from the ambient sound. The example method also includes determining that a triggering condition is present in the external sound signal. The triggering condition may be indicative of a condition in that more adversely affects externally-received sounds than internally-received sounds. In response to determining that the triggering condition is present in the external sound signal, the example method further includes generating a stimulation signal that is based at least in part on spectral information of the internally-transduced sound.
