Abstract
This invention relates to a hearing aid system () for generating auditory spatial cues. The hearing aid system () comprises a first microphone unit () adapted to convert sound received at a first microphone () and received at a second microphone (), a first delay unit () connected to the first microphone () delaying the signal from the first microphone (), a first calculation unit () for summing the delayed signal of the first microphone () and signal of the second microphone (), a processor unit () processing the summed signal, and a speaker converting the processed signal to a processed sound. The first and second microphones () are separated by a predetermined first distance and the first delay unit () provides a predetermined first delay thereby generating a first auditory spatial cue representing a first spatial dimension in the summed signal.
