Patent ID: 8135139

Claim:
A method of configuring a frequency transposition scheme for transposing a set of received frequencies of an audio signal received by a first and second hearing aid worn by a subject to a transposed set of frequencies, herein the method comprising: determining at least one subject-dependent parameter indicative of the subject's ability to detect audio frequencies and at least one subject-dependent parameter indicative of the location in frequency of one or more spectral cues; configuring a subject-dependent frequency transposition process based on the determined subject-dependent parameters, the subject-dependent frequency transposition being configured so as to improve the subject's spatial hearing capabilities; synchronizing the frequency transposition across the two ears of the subject when the subject is wearing a hearing aid in both ears; and configuring the first and second hearing aid to perform the configured subject-dependent frequency transposition using the same determined subject-dependent parameters in each of the first and second hearing aid.
