Abstract: A hearing aid is configured to be located at or in an ear of a user. The hearing aid comprises a heartbeat detector providing a pulse control signal, and a processor. The processor is configured to estimate whether the hearing aid is located at a left or a right ear of the user in dependence of the pulse control signal. A method of operating a hearing aid and a binaural hearing aid system is further disclosed.

Abstract: Hearing aid system comprising at least one hearing aid is provided. The hearing aid system further comprising an input unit for receiving an input sound signal from an environment of the hearing aid user and providing at least one electric input signal representing said input sound signal, an output unit for providing at least one set of stimuli perceivable as sound to the hearing aid user based on processed versions of said at least one electric input signal, a processing unit connected to said input unit and to said output unit and comprising signal processing parameters to provide said processed versions of said at least one electric input signal, at least one photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor configured to provide a PPG signal of the hearing aid user, and a listening effort determination unit configured to provide at least one PPG morphology parameter value based at least on the PPG signal, compare the at least one PPG morphology parameter value with at least one corresponding reference PPG morphology parameter value and determine a morphology comparison measure, and determine a listening effort of the hearing aid user. A hearing aid is further provided.
