Abstract: The present invention regards a binaural hearing system comprising a first hearing device and a second hearing device. Each of the hearing devices comprises a power source, an environment sound input, a link unit and electric circuitry. The environment sound input is configured to receive sound from an acoustic environment and to generate an environment sound signal. The link unit is configured to transmit the environment sound signal from the hearing device comprising the link unit to a link unit of the other hearing device of the binaural hearing system and to receive a transmitted environment sound signal from the other hearing device. The electric circuitry of each of the hearing devices is configured to process and environment sound signals and transmitted environment sound signals and to estimate a respective time delay between the environment sound signal and the transmitted environment sound signal based on the corresponding processed signals. The electric circuitry is configured to apply the respective time delay to the transmitted environment sound signal to generate a time delayed transmitted environment sound signal. The electric circuitry is configured to subtract the equalized (at least time delayed) transmitted environment sound signal from the environment sound signal to receive an equalized-cancelled environment sound signal, and to determine a target signal and/or a noise signal based thereon.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a hearing aid. The hearing aid includes an input unit configured to convert a sound in an environment of the hearing aid to at least one electrical input signal representative of the sound. The hearing aid includes a signal processor. The signal processor is configured to determine, based on the at least one electrical input signal, whether an origin of the sound is below a distance threshold. The signal processor is configured to, in accordance with the origin being below the distance threshold, attenuate the at least one electrical input signal. The signal processor is further configured to determine, based on the at least one electrical input signal, whether the origin is above a far-distance threshold, and in accordance with the origin being above the far-distance threshold, attenuate the at least one electrical input signal.

Abstract: A method of programming a configurable signal processing unit of a hearing aid device comprises Providing a frequency transposition algorithm in the hearing aid device where content from more than one upper-lying source frequency band is copied or moved into one and the same lower lying destination frequency band; Providing a number of frequency transposition configurations, each comprising a specific combination of source regions and a destination region; Providing a weight parameter that specifies the amount of gain applied to a lowered signal resulting from a given frequency transposition configuration; and Providing a prescription algorithm that selects an optimum frequency transposition configuration for an ear of a user taking an audiogram for the ear in question and an amplification capability of the hearing aid device in question into account. A purpose of the disclosure is to provide an improved audibility of high frequency sound for users with severe-to-profound hearing losses.
