1. A hearing aid system comprising:
at least one microphone configured to capture sounds from an environment of a user; and
at least one processor programmed to:
receive audio signals from the at least one microphone;
detect, based on analysis of the audio signals, a first audio signal associated with a first time period, wherein the first audio signal is representative of a voice of a single individual;
detect, based on analysis of the audio signals, a second audio signal associated with a second time period, wherein the second time period is different from the first time period, and wherein the second audio signal is representative of overlapping voices of two or more individuals;
selectively condition the first audio signal and the second audio signal, wherein the selective conditioning of the first audio signal is different in at least one respect relative the selective conditioning of the second audio signal; and
cause transmission of the conditioned first audio signal to a hearing interface device configured to provide sound to an ear of the user.
