Abstract:
A binaural hearing system includes a binaural pair of microphones that are configured to be located, respectively, at a first ear and a second ear of a user. The system further includes an interconnected binaural pair of sound processors that are associated with the binaural pair of microphones. The binaural pair of sound processors are configured to preserve, to a partial degree for each of the first and second ears of the user, an interaural level difference (“ILD”) between a first signal generated by the first microphone and a second signal generated by the second microphone. The sound processors do this by performing a contralateral gain synchronization operation to a first partial degree with respect to the first and second signals at the first sound processor, and to a second partial degree with respect to the first and second signals at the second sound processor.

Claim (Index 11):
The binaural hearing system of  claim 10 , wherein the second sound processor is configured to perform the contralateral gain synchronization operation to the second partial degree by:\n receiving the second signal directly from the second microphone; receiving the first signal from the first sound processor by way of the communication link; determining the level of the first signal; determining the level of the second signal; determining the second partial degree to which the contralateral gain synchronization operation is to be performed; generating a second gain processing parameter based on\n exclusively the level of the second signal if the level of the second signal is greater than the level of the first signal, and \n both the levels of the first and second signals if the level of the second signal is lesser than the level of the second signal; and \n performing a second gain processing operation, based on the second gain processing parameter, on a second at least one of the first and second signals to thereby generate a second output signal.
