Abstract

There is provided a hearing assistance system, comprising at least a first hearing device to be worn at one ear of a user, the first hearing device comprising a 3-axes accelerometer sensor for generating an acceleration signal indicative of the acceleration of the first hearing device, and an orientation sensor for generating an orientation signal indicative of the azimuthal orientation of the first hearing device, wherein the orientation sensor is selected from the group consisting of a 3-axes magnetic compass sensor and a 3-axes gyroscope sensor, and wherein the system comprises a judgement unit for judging, by analyzing the acceleration signal and the orientation signal of the first hearing device, whether the first hearing device is presently worn at the right ear or at the left ear of the user.
