Multi-frame algorithms for single-channel speech enhancement are able to take advantage from short-time correlations within the speech signal. Deep filtering (DF) recently demonstrated its capabilities for low-latency scenarios like hearing aids with its complex multi-frame (MF) filter. Alternatively, the complex filter can be estimated via an MF minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR), or MF Wiener filter (WF). Previous studies have shown that incorporating algorithm domain knowledge using an MVDR filter might be beneficial compared to the direct filter estimation via DF. In this work, we compare the usage of various multi-frame filters such as DF, MF-MVDR, or MF-WF for HAs. We assess different covariance estimation methods for both MF-MVDR and MF-WF and objectively demonstrate an improved performance compared to direct DF estimation, significantly outperforming related work while improving the runtime performance.
