Abstract: A method for processing an audio signal (i(t)), comprises: receiving a first set (x(t)) of time-varying signals representing a first sound comprised in the audio signal (i(t)), the first set (x(t)) of time-varying signals comprising an amplitude modulation signal (a(t)), a carrier frequency signal (fc(t)), a pitch signal (f0(t)) and an FM index signal (h(t)); and modifying the first set (x(t)) of time-varying signals by modifying the amplitude of the FM index signal (h(t)), thereby providing a first modified set (x′(t)) of time-varying signals. The resulting first modified set (x′(t)) of time-varying signals may subsequently be modulated to provide an audio output signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a binaural hearing aid device, comprising a first hearing aid and a second hearing aid, respectively. Each hearing aid comprises a microphone unit, a receiver unit, an audio processor and a speaker unit. The microphone unit is configured to receive an acoustic front tone, indicative of a front part of a surround sound, and to convert the acoustic front tone into an electric front signal. The receiver unit is configured to receive a wireless rear communication signal, indicative of a rear part of the surround sound, and to convert the rear communication signal into an electric rear signal. The audio processor is configured to receive the electric front signal and the electric rear signal and to determine a processed electric rear signal with respect to the electric front signal, by adjusting a time delay between the electric rear signal and the electric front signal and by adjusting a sound level of the electric rear signal according to a sound level of the electric front signal, wherein the audio processor of the first hearing aid is configured to adjust the time delay and the sound level of the electric rear signal differently than the audio processor of the second hearing aid, such that the combined acoustic output of the first hearing aid and of the second hearing aid form the rear part of the surround sound.
