Abstract: A method for localizing a sound source for a binaural hearing system with first and second hearing instruments. First and second input signals are formed from an ambient sound signal and directional signals are formed by directional signal processing of the input signals. The directional signals have a minimum sensitivity in different minimum directions with respect to a preferred direction of the binaural hearing system. Based on the directional signals, first and second source directions of the sound source are determined starting from the first and second hearing instrument, respectively. Based on the source directions and a distance between the first and second hearing instruments, the distance of said sound source from a reference point of the binaural hearing system and a main direction of the said sound source are determined to thereby localize the sound source.

Abstract: A method for transmitting information relating to a hearing device, in particular a hearing aid, to an external device. The hearing device is thereby placed in an immediate environment of the external device and the hearing device broadcasts a generally receivable, unencrypted first information item containing metadata about the hearing device and/or access data. The unencrypted first information item is received by the external device. The external device changes its operating mode directly or indirectly as a result of the first information item and continues to be operated with the modified operating mode.
