Method for adapting an initial binaural recording to a change of orientation of a head of a person (34, 10) being a listener or recordist wherein the method is applied in a hearing system, and wherein the binaural recording consists of a left binaural ear signal and a right binaural ear signal, comprising the method steps of receiving the initial binaural recording consisting of the left binaural ear signal and the right binaural ear signal, receiving a head orientation of the person (10, 34), determining a source direction of the received initial binaural recording with respect to the received head orientation, by analyzing the initial binaural recording, wherein analyzing the initial binaural recording involves a minimization approach, where an interaural level difference ( ILD ^) and an interaural phase difference ( IPD ^) stored in a mapping table are determined that best fit an interaural level difference and an interaural phase difference of the initial binaural recording; receiving a changed head orientation corresponding to a new head orientation of the person (10, 34), and adapting the received initial binaural recording based on a relationship between the changed head orientation and the interaural level difference and interaural phase difference of the initial binaural recording for a given source direction and by considering the determined source direction of the initial binaural recording and an angle between the changed head orientation and the determined source direction, and wherein a) in case the person (10, 34) is a listener, the method comprises the subsequent step of sending the adapted binaural recording to a hearing device, and wherein the hearing device is configured to provide the left binaural ear signal of the adapted binaural recording to a left ear of the listener and the right binaural ear signal of the adapted binaural recording to a right ear of the listener, or wherein b) in case the person (10, 34) is a recordist, the step of receiving the initial binaural recording comprises receiving the initial binaural recording from a recording device carried on a head of the recordist, wherein the recording device is configured to record the initial binaural recording by receiving the left binaural ear signal at a left ear of the recordist and the right binaural ear signal at a right ear of the recordist. receiving the initial binaural recording consisting of the left binaural ear signal and the right binaural ear signal, receiving a head orientation of the person (10, 34), determining a source direction of the received initial binaural recording with respect to the received head orientation, by analyzing the initial binaural recording, wherein analyzing the initial binaural recording involves a minimization approach, where an interaural level difference ( ILD ^) and an interaural phase difference ( IPD ^) stored in a mapping table are determined that best fit an interaural level difference and an interaural phase difference of the initial binaural recording;
