Abstract:
1. A hearing assistance system, comprising: a first hearing aid comprising an input transducer for converting sound into a first input signal, processing circuitry for filtering and amplifying the first input signal in accordance with specified signal processing parameters to produce a first output signal, and an output transducer for converting the first output signal into sound for a first ear; a second hearing aid comprising an input transducer for converting sound into a second input signal, processing circuitry for filtering and amplifying the second input signal in accordance with specified signal processing parameters to produce a second output signal, and an output transducer for converting the second output signal into sound for a second ear; wherein the processing circuitries of the first and second hearing aids are configured to operate in a spatial enhancement mode that de-correlates the first and second output signals, and wherein the processing circuitries of the first and second hearing aids are configured to pseudo-randomly jitter the phases of the first and second output signals in the spatial enhancement mode.
