Abstract
A method for operating a hearing device including a component to be worn at least partially in an ear of a user and an active noise control (ANC) system is provided. The method includes capturing an audio with a microphone system, generating an audio signal based on the captured audio, and generating a feed-forward (FF) compensating signal based on the captured audio. The method includes monitoring the acoustic environment of the hearing device for presence of wind noise, and mixing the audio signal with the generated FF compensating signal at a ratio dependent on whether wind noise is detected to provide an acoustic output signal. A hearing device including an active noise control (ANC) system and a wind noise monitor is also provided.
