Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of operating a hearing aid with an active noise control system. The method can utilize an ambient sound detector for classification of an ambient sound environment, such as a coherence measure between audio signals. The method can further include mixing audio signals with a feed-forward compensating signal in dependence on the particular classification of the sound environment.

Abstract: A hearing aid device is disclosed. The hearing aid device comprises means to improve, augment and/or protect the hearing capability of a user by receiving acoustic signals from the surroundings of the user, generating corresponding audio signals, possibly modifying the audio signals and providing the possibly modified audio signals as audible signals to at least one of the user's ears. The hearing aid device comprises a sensor member for detecting the movement and/or acceleration and/or orientation (or spatial position) of the hearing aid device. The hearing aid device comprises at least two hearing aid microphones and a control unit for determining the position or a deviation from an intended position of the hearing aid device or hearing aid microphones. The hearing aid device is configured to compensate for a possible dislocation of the hearing aid microphones.

Abstract: A method for charging a battery of a hearing instrument is disclosed. The method may comprise obtaining (110) a discharge function as a relationship between a battery charge and a voltage of the battery. The method may further comprise obtaining (112) a desired runtime capacity to be achieved by charging the battery. The method may further comprise determining (114) a charging voltage taking into account at least the discharge function and/or the desired runtime capacity. The method may further comprise charging (116) the battery with the determined charging voltage. The method may improve battery longevity while at the same time ensuring that a desired runtime capacity is provided. Furthermore, a charging system (200) for charging a battery of a hearing instrument and a computer program product are disclosed.
