Directional hearing is improved given the binaural coverage for a hearing
aid user with two hearing aid devices wearable at the ears. The
respective signal transit times and/or signal amplitudes and/or
amplifications of an electrical signal are respectively measured in a
signal path between an input transducer and an output transducer and that
data with respect to the measured signal transit times and/or signal
amplitudes and/or gains is transmitted onto the respectively other
hearing aid device. As a result, the signal transit times and the signal
amplitudes of the electrical signals through the two hearing aid devices
can be matched to one another. The hearing aid devices thus cause no
phase or amplitude distortion, and the natural phase shift as well as the
natural amplitude difference of a sound signal incident from a specific
direction are thus preserved. The directional information is thus also
preserved for the hearing aid user.
