Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of methods, in particular performed by at least one hearing device, uses of the method, hearing devices and hearing systems. The method can include determining a reference orientation and/or position, in particular a reference vector uref, of a hearing device; detecting at least one movement and/or acceleration of the hearing device; determining at least one deviating orientation and/or position, in particular at least one deviation vector vd, of the hearing device based on the detected at least one movement and/or acceleration; and determining at least one deviation, in particular at least one deviation angle ?, between the reference orientation and/or position, in particular the reference vector uref, and the at least one deviating orientation and/or position, in particular the at least one deviation vector vd.

Abstract: A binaural hearing aid system includes first and second hearing aids configured to be worn by a user at or in respective first and second ears of the user, each of the first and second hearing aids including: at least one input transducer configured to pick up a sound at the at least one input transducer and to convert the sound to at least one electric input signal representative of the sound, the sound at the at least one input transducer including a mixture of a target signal and noise; a controller for evaluating the sound at the at least one input transducer and providing a control signal indicative of a property of the sound; a transceiver configured to establish a communication link between the first and second hearing aids allowing the exchange of the control signal between the first and second hearing aids; a transmitter for establishing an audio link for transmitting the at least one electric input signal, or a processed version thereof, to another device.

Abstract: A hearing aid is configured to be located at or in an ear of a user. The hearing aid comprises a heartbeat detector providing a pulse control signal, and a processor. The processor is configured to estimate whether the hearing aid is located at a left or a right ear of the user in dependence of the pulse control signal. A method of operating a hearing aid and a binaural hearing aid system is further disclosed.

Abstract: A hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, comprises an input unit; an output unit; an adaptive beamformer filtering unit configured to provide a spatially filtered signal based on a multitude of electric input signals from the input unit and an adaptively updated adaptation factor ?; a memory, wherein A) a reference value REF, equal to or dependent on a value, ?ov, of said adaptation factor ? determined when a voice of the user is present, or B) a set of parameters for classification based on logistic regression or a neural network, is stored; and an own voice detector configured to provide an estimate of whether or not, or with what probability, a given input sound originates from the voice of the user, and wherein said estimate is dependent on a) a current value of said adaptation factor ? and said reference value REF, or on b) said set of parameters for classification based on logistic regression or a neural network, respectively.
