The present invention proposes a method for operating a binaural hearing system with two hearing devices (') operationally interconnected by means of a bidirectional link () which improves hearing perception in windy listening situations. The method comprises determining the level of wind noise present at each of the two hearing devices (&#x2032;) and sending the audio signal picked-up at the first hearing device () to the second hearing device (&#x2032;) via the link () and then providing an output signal derived from the received signal to the electrical-to-mechanical output converter (&#x2032;) of the second hearing device (&#x2032;) if the level of wind noise at the second hearing device (&#x2032;) exceeds the level of wind noise at the first hearing device () by a pre-set threshold value. Furthermore, a binaural hearing system capable of performing such a method is given.
