    Abstract: A binaural hearing system comprising first and second hearing devices, e.g. hearing aids, adapted to establish a communication link between them, each comprising a) first and second input units providing first and second electric input signals representing first and second sound signals from the environment of the binaural hearing system, b) a beamformer unit for generating a beamformed signal from the first and second electric input signals, and c) a control unit for controlling the beamformer unit. In a specific dual DIR mode of operation aimed at a listening situation comprising first and second target sound sources, the control units of the first and second hearing devices are configured to focus their respective beamformer units on the first and second target sound sources, respectively. The application further relates to a method of operating a binaural hearing system.
