Abstract:
1. A method for operating a hearing aid set including a first hearing aid and a second hearing aid, the method comprising: performing a first dynamic range compression including applying a first gain to a first audio signal in the first hearing aid; performing a second dynamic range compression including applying a second gain to a second audio signal in the second hearing aid; detecting an acoustic scene; and controlling the first dynamic range compression and the second dynamic range compression using the detected acoustic scene, such that the first dynamic range compression and the second dynamic range compression are performed independently in response to the detected acoustic scene indicating a single sound source, and the first dynamic range compression and the second dynamic range compression are coordinated, in response to the detected acoustic scene indicating a plurality of sound sources, using a distribution of sound sources of the plurality of sound sources indicated by the detected acoustic scene.
