A method of personalizing one or more parameters of a processing algorithm for use in a hearing aid of a specific user comprises

Personalization of algorithm parameters of a hearing device

The present disclosure regards a binaural hearing system configured to receive sound signals from the environment having two hearing instruments to be worn on respective sides of the head of a user and to generate a binaural signal using the received sound signals of both hearing instruments.

Binaural hearing system and method

The present disclosure regards a hearing device configured to receive acoustical sound signals and to generate output sound signals comprising spatial cues.

Hearing system

Binaural gearing system and method

A binaural hearing system comprising left and right hearing devices is provided, each comprising an input unit providing an electric input signal representing an environmental sound; a noise reduction system for estimating and reducing a noise component of the electric input signal; antenna and transceiver circuitry allowing the exchange of data between the hearing devices. The binaural hearing system is&#x2014;in a mode of operation, where a sound source is predominantly audible at a first one of the hearing devices&#x2014;configured to transmit the estimate of the noise component determined in a second one of the hearing devices to the first hearing device and to use said estimate to reduce the noise component in the electric signal of the first hearing device and to provide a noise reduced signal in the first hearing device. Thereby improved noise reduction is provided for use, e.g. in hearing aids, in non-symmetric acoustic situations.

Binaural hearing system

A hearing aid device is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises a receiver configured to be arranged in the ear canal. The hearing aid device comprises a directional microphone system comprising two microphones or one microphone having two sound inlets. The hearing aid device comprises means for counteracting acoustic feedback on the basis of sound signals detected by the two microphones or the two sound inlets. The hearing aid device comprises an 'open fitting' providing ventilation. The two microphones or the two sound inlets of the directional microphone (forming part of a directional system) are arranged in the ear canal at the same side of the receiver and sound is allowed to propagate freely between the microphones or between the inlets of the directional microphone and the receiver. Preferably, the hearing aid device comprises a procedure (such as an adaptive procedure) for optimizing the directional system of the hearing aid device. An improved feedback reduction is thereby achieved, while allowing a relatively large gain to be applied to the incoming signal.
