BINAURAL HEARING AID WITH TWO HEARING INSTRUMENT WORN IN OR ON THE EAR OF THE USER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH A HEARING SYSTEM

摘要

A binaural hearing system (2) is specified for supporting the hearing ability of a user, which has two hearing instruments (4a, 4b) each worn in or on one ear of the user, an audio signal (I ) by means of a programmable signal processor (12a, 12b) of the respective hearing instrument (4a, 4b) by executing a plurality of software modules (32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,54) firmware ( 30) of the hearing system (2) is modified and output by means of an output transducer (8a, 8b) of the respective hearing instrument (4a, 4b). The executed software modules (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 54) of the firmware (30) are distributed asymmetrically over the two hearing instruments (4a, 4b) so that at least one of the Software modules (40, 42,44,46,48,50,54) of the firmware (30) is executed selectively in one of the two hearing instruments (4a, 4b).
