  • Binaural hearing device with monaural ambient mode
    Patent number: 11388498
    Abstract: A hearing device comprising a first earphone with a first driver unit and a second earphone comprising a second driver unit. The headset further comprises a first ambient microphone adapted for converting ambient noise to an ambient input signal. A first electric circuitry is adapted for receiving the first ambient input sound signal from the ambient microphone and in an ambient mode outputting a first ambient output sound signal of a certain level to the first driver unit. An activation circuit is adapted to activate and deactivate the ambient mode for the hearing device. In the ambient mode, the ambient output sound signal is sent to the first driver unit and not the second driver unit.
