Patent ID: 7286672

Claim:
A binaural hearing device system comprising: a first reception unit; a second reception unit; a first output converter; a second output converter; a first device for one ear of an individual, said first device including said first reception unit, said first output converter, and a first signal processing unit having an input operationally connectable to an electrical output of said first reception unit; a second device for the other ear of the individual, said second device including said second reception unit, said second output converter, and a second signal processing unit having an input operationally connectable to an electrical output of said second reception unit; a data communication link connecting said first device and said second device, wherein said communication link is provided at an output side of said first processing unit and transmits signals dependent from said output signal of said first processing unit, and wherein said communication link is also provided at an output side of said second processing unit and transmits signals dependent from said output signal of said second processing unit; and a weighing unit including a first input, a second input, a first output, a second output, and a control input, wherein an output of said first signal processing unit is operationally connected to said first input of said weighting unit, and an output of said second signal processing unit is operationally connected to said second input of said weighting unit, and wherein said first output of said weighing unit is for operationally connecting to an input of said first output converter, and said second output of said weighing device is for operationally connecting to an input of said second output converter, and further wherein said weighing unit is adapted for providing said first output based on a first weighing of said first input and a second weighing of said second input, and wherein said weighing unit is further adapted for providing said second output based on a third weighing of said first input and a fourth weighing of said second input; and wherein said weighing unit is still further adapted such that said first, second, third and fourth weighings are capable of being configured independently of each other to different values and are controlled by a signal applied to said control input.
