Abstract
An electronic device configured to communicate with a binaural hearing device, includes: a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly receive, from the binaural hearing device, a signal indicating an orientation of a head of a user of the binaural hearing device; a memory storing head-related transfer functions (HRTF) respectively for a left ear and a right ear of the user; an input transducer configured to capture sound at a distance from the user; and a processing unit configured to provide a spatialized binaural audio signal based on the captured sound, the orientation of the head of the user, and the head-related transfer functions (HRTF); wherein the wireless communication unit is configured to transmit the spatialized binaural audio signal to the binaural hearing device for allowing the binaural hearing device to provide left and right audio outputs based on the spatialized binaural audio signal.
