Abstract

The system has left and right hearing aids for left and right ears of a hearing aid wearer, respectively. The hearing aids have respective transmission devices to wirelessly transmit input signals (EL, ER) from one of the hearing aids to the other aid. The aids have respective signal processing devices to compare the input signals in the hearing aids and to generate a mono signal (TM) within a specific ratio from the input signals. An independent claim is also included for a method for binaural provision of hearing aid wearer.
