Abstract: A hearing aid system includes: a first hearing aid comprising a first set of microphones, a first beamformer, a first processing module, and a first receiver; and a second hearing aid comprising a second set of microphones, a second beamformer, a second processing module, and a second receiver; wherein the first beamformer in a first operating mode is configured to provide a first audio signal in accordance with a first primary spatial characteristic, wherein the second beamformer in the first operating mode is configured to provide a second audio signal in accordance with a second primary spatial characteristic, the first primary spatial characteristic having a first main lobe with a first direction, and the second primary spatial characteristic having a second main lobe with a second direction, wherein the second direction is different from the first direction.

Abstract: A method of automatic switching between omnidirectional (OMNI) and directional (DIR) microphone modes in a binaural hearing aid comprising a first microphone system, a second microphone system, where the first microphone system is adapted to be placed in or at a first ear of a user, the second microphone system is adapted to be placed in or at a second ear of said user, the method includes a measurement step, where the spectral and temporal modulations of first and second input signals are monitored, an evaluation step, where the spectral and temporal modulations of the first and second input signal are evaluated by the calculation of an evaluation index of speech intelligibility for each of said signals, and an operational step, where the microphone mode of the first and the second microphone systems of the binaural hearing aid are selected in dependence of the calculated evaluation indexes.

Abstract: A binaural hearing aid includes: at least one signal processor; a first microphone system for provision of a first input signal; and a second microphone system for provision of a second input signal, where the first microphone system is adapted to be placed in or at a first ear of a user, and the second microphone system is adapted to be placed in or at a second ear of the user. The signal processor is configured for: obtaining modulations of the first input signal and the second input signal with at least the first microphone system being in an omni directional microphone mode; evaluating the modulations of the first input signal and the second input signal; and setting one or both of the first microphone system and the second microphone system based on a result from the act of evaluating.
