Abstract: A method performs directional signal processing for a hearing instrument. First and second input signals are generated by first and second input transducers, respectively, from a sound signal. The first front intermediate signal and a first rear intermediate signal are each formed from the first and second input signals. A first superposition of the first front intermediate signal and the first rear intermediate signal is formed by a complex-value first superposition parameter and is adapted based on the first superposition parameter. A complex value of the first superposition parameter resulting from the adaptation of the first superposition is converted into a first alternative parameter and a second alternative parameter. An output signal is generated based on the first alternative parameter, the limited second alternative parameter and a superposition of the first and second input signals.

Abstract: A method for operating a hearing apparatus system with at least one hearing apparatus uses a first sensor of the hearing apparatus to capture a first measured variable characteristic of an actual wearing situation. If the first measured variable and/or a variation over time derived therefrom satisfies at least one prescribed first criterion, it is inferred that the hearing apparatus has had a tumble. If the tumble is detected to have taken place, at least one further measured variable and/or a variation over time derived therefrom is captured, and the at least one further measured variable is used to ascertain whether the hearing apparatus is arranged on the head of a hearing device wearer after the tumble.
