Abstract (en)

A new binaural hearing aid system is provided that compensates for a hearing impaired user's loss of ability to understand speech in noise using a new method comprising the steps of providing at least one microphone audio signal (18, 20) in response to sound, and providing an estimate of one of a target signal and a noise signal (30) based on the at least one audio signal, phase shifting the estimate of one of the target signal (26) and the noise signal (30), and in which the phase shifted estimate of one of the target signal (26) and the noise signal (30) has substantially providing a phase shifted signal representing the at least one microphone audio signal substituted the respective original one of the target signal (26) and the noise signal (30), and transmitting a signal representing the phase shifted signal towards one of the eardrums of a user of the binaural hearing aid system (10), and transmitting a signal representing the at least one microphone audio signal towards the other one of the eardrums of the user.
