Abstract: There is provided a method for authenticating a user of a binaural hearing system comprising two hearing devices, the method comprising: registering the binaural hearing system with a relying party as a single authenticator for authenticating the user, thereby generating authentication data; synchronizing the two hearing devices regarding the authentication data; and using either one of the two hearing devices as the single authenticator by utilizing the authentication data to authenticate the user to the relying party in response to a request by the relying party.

Abstract: A method includes providing a hearing device with a key, which is a secret asymmetric private key or a secret shared symmetric key, and storing the key on the hearing device; logging data related to a usage of the hearing device and storing the logged usage data on the hearing device; signing the stored logged usage data, using the key stored on the hearing device; transmitting the signed stored logged usage data from the hearing device to a data lake separate from the hearing device; verifying the signature of the signed logged usage data received from the hearing device by using the public key that corresponds to the private key stored on the hearing device or by using a secret shared symmetric key corresponding to the shared secret symmetric key stored on the hearing device; and, if the signature is verified, processing the signed logged usage data.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to securely sharing data between a hearing care professional (HCP) and a hearing device user. For example, the disclosed technology relates to securely accessing fitting data for a hearing device. The disclosed technology includes a hearing device that has a memory, where the memory stores a key that can be used for encryption and decryption. The key can be a symmetrical key. In addition to storing a key, the hearing device can store a uniform resource indicator (URI) in its memory.
