    摘要: The disclosure relates to a hearing system comprising a first hearing device (110, 160, 410, 460) configured to be worn at a first ear of a user, the first hearing device comprising a first biometric sensor (119, 131 - 134, 411) configured to provide sensor data (211) indicative of a biometric property of the user; a second hearing device (120, 170, 420, 470) configured to be worn at a second ear of the user, the second hearing device comprising a second biometric sensor (129, 131 - 134, 421) configured to provide sensor data (212) indicative of the same biometric property as the sensor data (211) provided by the first biometric sensor (119, 131 - 134, 411). The disclosure further relates to a corresponding method of operating a hearing system, and a computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the method.
    To provide the sensor data (211, 212) of the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) in an optimized way, in particular to balance a desired high accuracy and/or reliability and/or quality of the sensor data with a low power consumption of the biometric sensors, a processing unit (112, 122, 182, 201) is configured to control the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) to provide the sensor data (211, 212) in subsequent time intervals, wherein, in at least one of said subsequent time intervals, one of the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) is controlled to provide the sensor data to the processing unit (112, 122, 182, 201) and the other of the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) is controlled to abstain from providing the sensor data (211, 212) to the processing unit (112, 122, 182, 201).

    摘要: A hearing device comprising a housing (1), at least one microphone (4) arranged within the housing (1), a microphone opening (6), that connects the respective microphone (4) to the outside of the housing (1) by means of a channel (60), a first microphone protection cover (2) that is arranged within the housing (1) between the microphone (4) and the microphone opening (6), and a toggle (3) that is arranged on the first microphone protection cover (2). The first microphone protection cover (2) comprises protection sections (21, 22) adapted to cover at least a part of the respective microphone (4), and a central sealing section (23) adapted to seal the inside of the housing (1) in the region of the toggle (3). The protection sections (21, 22) and the central sealing section (23) are formed integrally in one piece from a single material.
