Abstract
The present disclosure relates in a first aspect to a method of superimposing spatial auditory cues to an externally picked-up sound signal in a hearing instrument. The method comprises steps of a generating an external microphone signal by an external microphone arrangement and transmitting the external microphone signal to a wireless receiver of a first hearing instrument via a first wireless communication link. Further steps of the methodology comprise determining response characteristics of a first spatial synthesis filter by correlating the external microphone signal and a first hearing aid microphone signal of the first hearing instrument and filtering the external microphone signal by the first spatial synthesis filter to produce a first synthesized microphone signal comprising first spatial auditory cues.
