Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a system 2, a hearing aid 4 and a method 40 for improving synchronization of an acoustic signal to a video display. The system 2 comprises a hearing aid 4 and a delay unit 6 that may be integrated in the hearing aid 4. The hearing aid 4 is configured for receiving a first audio signal intended for synchronous (i.e. at least substantially synchronous) presentation to a viewer of the video display. The hearing aid 4 is configured for generating a first acoustic signal to be presented to the user of the hearing aid 4. The first acoustic signal comprises at least a first part being generated in response to the first audio signal. The delay unit 6 is configured for applying a delay, such that synchronization of the at least first part of the first acoustic signal to the video display is improved.
