    • There is provided a system for providing hearing assistance to a user, comprising: a table microphone unit (10) for capturing audio signals from a speaker's voice, comprising a microphone arrangement (16) comprising at least three microphones (M1, M2, M3) arranged in a non-linear manner, a beamformer unit (48) comprising a plurality of beamformers (BF1, BF2, . . . ), wherein each beamformer is configured to generate an acoustic beam (B1, B2, . . . ) by beamforming processing of audio signals captured by a subset of the microphones in such a manner that the acoustic beam has a fixed direction, an audio signal analyzer unit (52) for analyzing the beams in order to determine at least one acoustic parameter for each acoustic beam, a beam selection unit (54) for selecting one of the acoustic beams as the presently active beam based on the values of the at least one acoustic parameter, an output unit (60) for providing an acoustic output stream (26), wherein the output unit is configured to provide, during stationary phases of the beam selection, the presently active beam as the output stream, and to provide, during a transition period starting upon switching of the beam selection from a first beam to a second beam, a mixture of the first and second beam with a time-variable weighting of the first and second beam as the output stream so as to enable a smooth transition from the first beam to the second beam during the transition period, a transmission unit (20) for transmitting an audio signal corresponding to the output stream via a wireless link (14); and a hearing assistance device (12) to be worn by the user, comprising a receiver unit (30) for receiving audio signals transmitted from the transmitter of the table microphone unit and an output transducer (40) for stimulation of the user's hearing according to the received audio signals.

    • There is provided a multi-talker acoustic network system for providing hearing assistance to a user, comprising at least two table microphone units (10, 12) for capturing audio signals from a speaker's voice, each comprising a microphone arrangement (30) having an omnidirectional characteristic, a VAD (32) for detecting voice activity of the microphone arrangement and a transmitter (36) for transmitting the captured audio signals via a wireless audio link (40), a control unit (34) for selecting one of tire table microphone units as the presently active microphone unit, wherein the control unit is configured to select, in case that at a time only for one of the table microphone units voice activity is detected, that one of the table microphone units as the presently active microphone unit, and to select, in case that at a time for more than one of the table microphone units voice activity is detected, at least for a certain time period that one of the table microphone units as the presently active microphone unit which has detected the voice activity first as the presently active microphone unit, wherein the system is configured to maintain the selection of the presently active microphone unit with a release time, and a hearing assistance device (20, 22) to be worn by the user, comprising a receiver unit (42) for receiving audio signals captured by the presently active microphone unit and an output transducer (44) for stimulation of the user's hearing according to the received audio signals, wherein the system is configured to prevent audio signals of the table microphone unit(s) not being the presently active microphone unit from being supplied to the output transducer.
