    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 hearing aid configured to be worn by a user comprises an input processing unit comprising at least one input transducer for providing at least one input audio signal representative of sound, the input processing unit providing at least one processed input audio signal in dependence of said at least one input audio signal; a sound scene analyzer for analyzing said sound in said at least one input audio signal and providing a sound scene control signal indicative of a current sound environment; a notification unit configured to provide a notification signal in response to a notification request signal indicative of a request for conveying a specific message to the user; an output processing unit for presenting stimuli perceivable as sound to the user in dependence of said at least one processed input audio signal and said notification signal. The notification signal is determined in response to said notification request signal and the sound scene control signal.
