Abstract: The application relates to a binaural hearing assistance system comprising first and second hearing assistance devices adapted for being located at or in left and right ears of a user. The application further relates to a method of operating a binaural hearing assistance system. The object of the present application is to provide an improved binaural hearing assistance system. The problem is solved in that each of the first and second hearing assistance devices comprises a) a first wireless interface comprising first antenna and transceiver circuitry adapted for establishing a first communication link to the respective other hearing assistance device based on near-field communication; b) a second wireless interface comprising second antenna and transceiver circuitry adapted for establishing a second communication link to an auxiliary device based on far-field communication; c) a link control unit operatively coupled to the second antenna and transceiver circuitry and configured to repeatedly provide a second link quality measure indicative of a link quality of the second communication link; wherein the first and second hearing assistance devices are configured to exchange said respective second link quality measures between them via said first and/or second communication links. This has the advantage of providing a robust and flexible system. The invention may e.g. be used for binaural hearing assistance systems, e.g. binaural hearing aid systems, where audio quality and power consumption has to be mutually optimized.

Abstract translation: 本申请涉及一种双耳助听系统，其包括适于位于使用者的左耳和右耳中的第一和第二听力辅助装置。 本申请还涉及一种操作双耳助听器系统的方法。 本申请的目的是提供一种改进的双耳助听系统。 解决的问题是，第一和第二听力辅助装置中的每一个包括：a）第一无线接口，包括第一天线和收发器电路，适于基于近场通信建立到相应的其他助听装置的第一通信链路; b）第二无线接口，包括第二天线和收发器电路，其适于基于远场通信建立到辅助设备的第二通信链路; c）链路控制单元，其可操作地耦合到所述第二天线和收发器电路并且被配置为重复地提供指示所述第二通信链路的链路质量的第二链路质量度量; 其中所述第一和第二听力辅助装置被配置为经由所述第一和/或第二通信链路在它们之间交换所述相应的第二链路质量度量。 这具有提供强大而灵活的系统的优点。 本发明可以例如 用于双耳助听器系统，例如 双耳式助听器系统，其中音频质量和功耗必须相互优化。

Abstract: A binaural aid assistance system comprises first and second hearing assistance devices adapted for being located at or in left and right ears of a user. Each of the first and second hearing assistance devices comprises a) a first wireless interface comprising first antenna and transceiver circuitry adapted for establishing a first communication link to the respective other hearing assistance device based on near-field communication; b) a second wireless interface comprising second antenna and transceiver circuitry adapted for establishing a second communication link to an auxiliary device based on far-field communication. The binaural hearing aid system further comprises c) a user interface from which a user can select a suitable routing of an audio signal from the auxiliary device to each of the first and second hearing assistance devices.
