Abstract
Audio content captured by a plurality of microphones associated with a device, such as a hearing device, may be received. It may be determined that a first portion of the audio content is associated with a first microphone of the plurality of microphones. The first microphone may be a unidirectional microphone. Audio indicative of the first portion may be generated and sent to the device for output. It may be determined that a second portion of the audio content is associated with a second, different microphone of the plurality of microphones. The second microphone may be an omnidirectional microphone. Audio indicative of the second portion may be generated and sent to the device for output.
