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 14):
The binaural hearing system of  claim 1 , wherein the performance of the contralateral gain synchronization operation includes:\n applying, at the first sound processor to at least one of the first and second signals, a first gain based on a first gain processing parameter generated at the first sound processor; and applying, at the second sound processor to an additional at least one of the first and second signals, a second gain based on a second gain processing parameter generated at the second sound processor; wherein the first and second gains are each implemented as at least one of a noise cancellation gain, a wind cancellation gain, a reverberation cancellation gain, and an impulse cancellation gain, and wherein the first and second gain processing parameters are each implemented as at least one of a noise cancellation gain parameter, a wind cancellation gain parameter, a reverberation cancellation gain parameter, and an impulse cancellation gain parameter.
