Abstract: With the adaptation of a hearing aid to a multitude of acoustic sources, head movements can be taken into consideration more rapidly. To this end, a position determining device (PB) for determining the current position of the head of the hearing aid wearer is provided, so that with the aid of the position of the head in a processing and separation unit (VE), the relative change in the acoustic source positions can be rapidly taken into consideration. Thus after each head movement, a renewed time-intensive adaptation is not required.
