Abstract: A hearing aid configured to be worn by a user, comprises a) an input unit configured to provide an electric input signal representing sound, b1) a wake word detector configured to identify a particular wake word based on said electric input signal, or a signal derived therefrom, and to provide a wake word control signal indicative of whether or not, or with what probability, said wake word is detected, or b2) an own voice detector configured to estimate whether or not, or with what probability, the electric input signal or a signal derived therefrom originates from the voice of the user and to provide an own voice control signal indicative thereof, c) transceiver circuitry configured to establish a communication link to another hearing aid allowing the transmission of said electric input signal, or a signal derived therefrom, to said another hearing aid and/or the reception of an electric input signal, or a signal derived therefrom, from said another hearing aid., and d) a pre-processor configured to control said transceiver circuitry in dependence of said wake word control signal or in dependence of said own voice control signal. A binaural hearing aid system and a method of operating a hearing aid are further disclosed. The invention may e.g. be used in binaural hearing aid systems and associated applications, e.g. communication systems.

Abstract: A binaural hearing aid system includes first and second hearing aids configured to be worn by a user at or in respective first and second ears of the user, each of the first and second hearing aids including: at least one input transducer configured to pick up a sound at the at least one input transducer and to convert the sound to at least one electric input signal representative of the sound, the sound at the at least one input transducer including a mixture of a target signal and noise; a controller for evaluating the sound at the at least one input transducer and providing a control signal indicative of a property of the sound; a transceiver configured to establish a communication link between the first and second hearing aids allowing the exchange of the control signal between the first and second hearing aids; a transmitter for establishing an audio link for transmitting the at least one electric input signal, or a processed version thereof, to another device. The controller is configured to: transmit the locally provided control signal to, and receive a corresponding remotely provided control signal from the opposite hearing aid via the communication link, and to compare the locally provided and the remotely provided control signals and to provide a comparison control signal in dependence thereof, and to transmit the at least one electric input signal, or a processed version thereof, to the another device via the audio link in dependence of the comparison control signal.
