Hearing aid with a controllable directional characteristic having at least two spaced apart microphones (Mic 1, Mic 2) in at least two microphone channels, at least one signal processing unit, at least one output transducer and a directional controlling system, with means for adaptively matching the characteristics of at least two microphones. This novel hearing aid comprises an adaptive phase matching circuit (1), inserted into said at least two microphone channels, the adaptive phase matching circuit (1) having its outputs connected to an acoustical delay compensation means (2), followed by a parameter control circuit (3), the output of which is applied to a controllable filter means (4) inserted into at least one of said at least two microphone channels inside said adaptive phase matching circuit. Preferably filter means (5, 6) are provided in front of said acoustical delay compensation means (2), which could be used to eliminate DC components.

L'invention concerne un appareil auditif à propriétés directives adaptables comportant au moins deux microphones espacés (Microphone 1, Microphone 2) sur au moins deux voies de microphone, au moins une unité de traitement de signaux, au moins un transducteur de sortie et un système de commande de propriétés directives, et un système d'ajustement adaptatif des propriétés d'au moins deux microphones. L'appareil considéré comporte un circuit d'ajustement adaptatif de phase (1), inséré dans les deux (ou plus de deux) voies de microphone, dont les sorties sont reliées à un système de compensation de retard acoustique (2). Vient ensuite un circuit de commande de paramètre (3), dont la sortie est appliquée à un système de filtre commandé (4) qui est inséré dans au moins l'un des deux (ou plus de deux) voies de microphone à l'intérieur du circuit d'ajustement adaptatif de phase. De préférence, des systèmes de filtre (5, 6) sont placés devant le système de compensation de retard acoustique (2) afin d'éliminer éventuellement les composantes de courant continu.
