AB - An end-to-end speech enhancement system for hearing aids is pro-posed which seeks to improve the intelligibility of binaural speechin noise during head movement. The system uses a reference beam-former whose look direction is informed by knowledge of the headorientation and the a priori known direction of the desired source.From this a time-frequency mask is estimated using a deep neuralnetwork. The binaural signals are obtained using bilateral beam-formers followed by a classical minimum mean square error speechenhancer, modified to use the estimated mask as a speech presenceprobability prior. In simulated experiments, the improvement in abinaural intelligibility metric (DBSTOI) given by the proposed sys-tem relative to beamforming alone corresponds to an SNR improve-ment of 4 to 6 dB. Results also demonstrate the individual contribu-tions of incorporating the mask and the head orientation-aware beamsteering to the proposed system.
