Abstract

The system has first and second hearing aids (1,1') for the left and right ears of the user, each with a microphone (2,2'), a signal processor (3,3'; 4,4') and an output transducer and an arrangement for transferring an audio signal between hearing aid. At least for a defined frequency range the acoustic output signal output by the earpiece (5,5') of the second hearing aid originates exclusively from the first audio signal and the acoustic output signal output by the earpiece of the first hearing aid originates exclusively from the second audio signal. An independent claim is also included for (A) an arrangement for implementing the inventive method (B) and a method of.
