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 12):
The binaural hearing system of  claim 11 , wherein:\n the binaural pair of sound processors is included within a cochlear implant system and is communicatively coupled with a binaural pair of cochlear implants implanted within the user and including\n a first cochlear implant communicatively coupled with the first sound processor, and \n a second cochlear implant communicatively coupled with the second sound processor; \n the first sound processor is configured to present the first output signal to the user at the first ear of the user by directing the first cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation, based on the first output signal, to one or more locations within a first cochlea of the user; and the second sound processor is configured to present the second output signal to the user at the second ear of the user by directing the second cochlear implant to apply electrical stimulation, based on the second output signal, to one or more locations within a second cochlea of the user.
