Abstract

A method operates a hearing system that has first and second hearing devices. In the first hearing device, a first reference signal and a first auxiliary signal are generated from an environment sound collected by microphones. A first pre-processed signal is generated by applying a direction-sensitive pre-processing to the first reference and auxiliary signals using first reference and first auxiliary pre-processing coefficients. For the microphones, a respective first reference head related transfer function and first auxiliary head related transfer function are provided, and a first head related transfer function is derived from the first reference and first auxiliary pre-processing coefficients and from the first reference and auxiliary head related transfer functions. For the second hearing device a second pre-processed signal is generated using second microphones, and a second position related transfer function is provided. A direction-sensitive signal processing task is performed on the first and second pre-processed signals.
