Abstract:
A hearing assistance system comprises a left ear device and a right ear device respectively configured to be worn by a wearer. One or more microphones are provided at each of the left and right ear devices. One or more positional sensors are configured to determine a three-dimensional position of the hearing assistance system in response to the wearer looking at a sound source in space. A user interface is configured to receive an input directly from the wearer. A memory is configured to store the three-dimensional position of the hearing assistance system in response to the received input. A processor is configured to adjust a directional polar pattern of the one or more microphones provided at one or both of the left and right ear devices in response to the stored three-dimensional position.

Claim (Index 28):
The method of  claim 23 , comprising:\n receiving a first input to the hearing device directly from the wearer when the wearer is looking at a target sound source of interest; receiving a second input to the hearing device directly from the wearer when the wearer is looking at a noise source; storing, in the hearing device, first and second three-dimensional positions of the hearing device in response to the first and second received inputs; and adjusting directionality of the one or more microphones in response to the stored first and second three-dimensional positions; wherein the directionality of the one or more microphones is adjusted to enhance reception of the target sound source of interest and attenuate reception of the noise source by the one or more microphones.
