SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY-BASED HEARING DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

A hearing device includes: an antenna for receiving a first wireless input signal from an external device and providing an antenna output signal; a transceiver configured to provide a transceiver input signal; an input module for provision of a first input signal, the input module comprising a first microphone; a processor; a receiver configured to provide an audio output signal; a pre-processor for provision of a pre-processor output signal based on the first input signal; and a controller comprising a speech intelligibility estimator for determining a speech intelligibility indicator indicative of speech intelligibility based on the transceiver input signal and a first controller input signal, wherein the controller is configured to provide a controller output signal based on the speech intelligibility indicator; wherein the pre-processor is configured to apply, based on the controller output signal, a pre-processing scheme to the first input signal and/or the transceiver input signal.
