Abstract: A method of providing hearing assistance to a user of a hearing system (10, 11, 15) by utilizing an event-related audio broadcast stream (74), the method having the steps of: registering, by the user, for an event; providing, in response to said registering, a personal device (60) of the user with a stream access code required to connect to the broadcast audio stream; establishing a wireless link (72) between the hearing system and the personal device and transmitting the stream access code from the personal device to the hearing system; and connecting, by the hearing system, to the broadcast audio stream.

Abstract: A transmission system and a method for controlling the transmission system comprising at least one interface unit and at least one adjustable device are disclosed. The method includes configuring the at least one interface unit according to interface configuration parameters, and enabling the at least one interface unit according to the interface configuration parameters. The method can also include transmitting device configuration parameters from the at least one interface unit to at least one of the adjustable devices, configuring the at least one adjustable device according to the device configuration parameters, and enabling the at least one adjustable device according to the device configuration parameters in order to transmit data via the second link.

Abstract: There is provided a hearing system comprising: a hearing device to be worn at or in a user's ear for supplying audio signals to said user and comprising a sound attenuation portion for attenuating ambient sound before reaching the user's ear, means for producing audio signals at a controlled level, a loudspeaker which is included in the attenuation portion and which is oriented towards the user's ear canal for providing sound corresponding to the audio signal produced by the audio signal producing means to the user's ear canal, a microphone which is included in the attenuation portion and which is oriented towards the user's ear canal for capturing audio signals from the sound provided by the loudspeaker to the user's ear canal, and a level control unit adapted to control the level of the audio signals produced by the audio signal producing means according to the audio signals captured by the microphone.
