Embodiment Construction

[0109] The detailed description set forth below in connection with the accompanying drawings serves as a description of a number of different configurations. The detailed description includes specific details to provide a thorough understanding of various concepts. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. Several aspects of the apparatus and methods are described in terms of a number of different blocks, functional units, modules, elements, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). Depending on the particular application, design constraints, or other reasons, these elements may be implemented using electronic hardware, computer programs or any combination thereof.

[0110] Electronic hardware may include microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), gat...

Abstract

The application relates to: A hearing system comprising first and second hearing aid systems, each being configured to be worn by first and second persons and adapted to exchange audio data between them, each of the first and second hearing aid systems comprising: an input unit for providing a multitude of electric input signals representing sound in the environment of the hearing aid system; a beamformer unit for spatially filtering the electric input signals; antenna and transceiver circuitry allowing a wireless communication link between the first and second hearing aid systems to be established to allow the exchange of said audio data between them; and a control unit for controlling the beamformer unit and the antenna and transceiver circuitry; wherein the control unit at least in a dedicated partner mode of operation of the hearing aid system - is arranged to configure the beamformer unit to retrieve an own voice signal of the person wearing the hearing aid system from the electric input signals, and to transmit the own voice signal to the other hearing aid system via the antenna and transceiver circuitry.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to hearing devices such as hearing aids. The invention specifically relates to communication between two (or more) persons, each wearing a hearing aid system comprising a hearing device (or a pair of hearing devices). The invention relates, for example, to a hearing system comprising two hearing aid systems, each hearing aid system being configured to be worn by two different users. [0002] The present application also relates to a method of operating a hearing system. [0003] Embodiments of the present invention may be used, for example, in applications such as hearing aids, headphones, active ear protection, or combinations thereof. Background technique [0004] One of the most difficult problems for people with hearing loss is carrying on a conversation in a situation with a lot of background chatter. Examples of this include restaurant chats, parties and other social gatherings. Failure to follow conversations ...
