Abstract: A hearing device configured to be worn by a user comprises one or more microphones, a processing unit, a speaker, a wireless communication unit, and stress evaluator. The user wearing the hearing device is in an environment defined by an acoustic scene. The microphones receive audio signals from audio sources in the environment and provide them to the processing unit which applies processing parameters to thereby process the audio signals. The speaker provides the processed audio signals to the user. The stress evaluator generates an indication of stress of the user, stress of the user being related to the acoustic scene. The processing unit then decides whether to perform an action on the basis of the received audio signals and the indication of stress of the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an application to be executed by an electronic device. The electronic device communicates with a hearing device worn by a user. The hearing device comprises a battery and a processing unit configured to receive an input signal and provide a processed output signal for compensating a hearing loss of the user. The application is configured for transmitting a status request from the electronic device to the hearing device, receiving, at the electronic device, a status response from the hearing device, and generating a notification representing instructions for charging the battery. The notification is generated based on the received status response and predetermined settings of the application.

Abstract: The present invention relates in a first aspect to a binaural hearing aid system comprising a first hearing aid for placement at, or in, a user's right ear and a second hearing aid for placement at, or in, a user's left ear or vice versa. A first signal processor of the first hearing aid is configured to generate a first monaural beamforming signal based on one or more microphone signals supplied by a first microphone arrangement of the first hearing aid in response to incoming sound, said first monaural beamforming signal exhibiting a first polar pattern with maximum sensitivity in a target direction. The first signal processor is additionally configured to generate a bilateral beamforming signal based on the first monaural beamforming signal and a second monaural beamforming signal received from the second hearing aid. The bilateral beamforming signal exhibits a polar pattern with maximum sensitivity in a target direction, typically the user's frontal direction, and reduced sensitivity at respective ipsilateral or local sides of the first and second hearing aids. The first signal processor is furthermore configured to generate a third monaural beamforming signal based on the one or more microphone signals and exhibiting a third polar pattern with maximum sensitivity at the ipsilateral side of the first hearing aid and reduced sensitivity in the target direction and reduced sensitivity at the contralateral side of the first hearing aid. The first signal processor is additionally configured to time delaying the third monaural beamforming signal relative to the first bilateral beamforming signal to reduce their correlation and combine the first bilateral beamforming signal and a time delayed third monaural beamforming signal to form a first hybrid beamforming signal; The first, second and third polar patterns have been measured or otherwise determined with the first and second hearing aids mounted on right and left ears of an acoustic manikin.
