Abstract: The application relates to: A hearing system comprising first and second hearing aid systems, each being configured to be worn by first and second persons and adapted to exchange audio data between them. The application further relates to a method of operating a hearing system. The object of the present application is to provide improved perception of a (target) sound source for a wearer of a hearing device (e.g. a hearing aid or a headset) in a difficult listening situation. The problem is solved in that each of the first and second hearing aid systems comprising an input unit for providing a multitude of electric input signals representing sound in the environment of the hearing aid system; a beamformer unit for spatially filtering the electric input signals; antenna and transceiver circuitry allowing a wireless communication link between the first and second hearing aid systems to be established to allow the exchange of said audio data between them; and a control unit for controlling the beamformer unit and the antenna and transceiver circuitry; wherein the control unit—at least in a dedicated partner mode of operation of the hearing aid system—is arranged to configure the beamformer unit to retrieve an own voice signal of the person wearing the hearing aid system from the electric input signals, and to transmit the own voice signal to the other hearing aid system via the antenna and transceiver circuitry. This has the advantage of eliminating the need for a partner microphone while still providing a boost in SNR of a target speaker. The invention may e.g. be used for the hearing aids, head sets, active ear protection devices or combinations thereof.

Abstract: The application relates to a portable electronic system comprising a first electronic device and an auxiliary device. The first electronic device comprises a first antenna defining a first spatial direction, and a first wireless unit operationally coupled to the first antenna. The auxiliary device comprises a second antenna defining a second spatial direction, the second antenna comprising a multitude of antenna elements, each defining a specific spatial direction, a second wireless unit operationally coupled to the second antenna, a direction detector configured to provide a direction-signal indicating an estimate of a current value of said second spatial direction relative to a reference direction, and a control unit configured to selectively control the connection of said multitude of antenna elements of the second antenna to said second wireless unit based on said direction-signal from the direction detector. Thereby a wireless link between a hearing assistance device and an auxiliary device can be optimized.
