Abstract:
1. A method for operating a hearing aid device system having a first hearing aid device to be worn on or in the left ear of a user and a second hearing aid device to be worn on or in the right ear of the user, comprising: generating a first audio signal via a first microphone of the first hearing aid device; processing the first audio signal via a first signal processing facility; converting the first processed audio signal into a user perceivable acoustic output signal by a first output converter; transmitting a first specific frequency range of the first audio signal from the first hearing aid device to a second receiver of the second hearing aid device; processing the transmitted first audio signal via a signal processing facility of the second hearing aid device; emitting the processed first audio signal by the second hearing aid device as a user perceivable second acoustic output signal; generating a second audio signal via a second microphone of the second hearing aid device; processing the second audio signal via a second signal processing facility; converting the second processed audio signal into a user perceivable acoustic output signal by a second output converter; transmitting a second specific frequency range of the second audio signal from the second hearing aid device to a first receiver of the first hearing aid device; processing the transmitted second audio signal via a signal processing facility of the first hearing aid device; and emitting the processed second audio signal by the first hearing aid device as a user perceivable first acoustic output signal, wherein the second acoustic output signal emitted by the second hearing aid device emanates exclusively from the first audio signal at least for the first specific frequency range, and the first acoustic output signal emitted by the first hearing aid device receiver emanates exclusively from the second audio signal.
