The disclosure relates to a hearing
system comprising a first hearing device (110, 160, 410, 460) configured to be worn at a first ear of a user, the first hearing device comprising a first biometric sensor (119, 131 - 134, 411) configured to provide sensor data (211) indicative of a biometric property of the user; a second hearing device (120, 170, 420, 470) configured to be worn at a second ear of the user, the second hearing device comprising a second biometric sensor (129, 131 - 134, 421) configured to provide sensor data (212) indicative of the same biometric property as the sensor data (211) provided by the first biometric sensor (119, 131 - 134, 411). The disclosure further relates to a corresponding method of operating a hearing
system, and a computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the method. To provide the sensor data (211, 212) of the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) in an optimized way, in particular to balance a desired high accuracy and / or reliability and / or quality of the sensor data with a low
power consumption of the biometric sensors, a
processing unit (112, 122, 182, 201) is configured to control the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) to provide the sensor data (211, 212) in subsequent time intervals, wherein, in at least one of said subsequent time intervals, one of the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) is controlled to provide the sensor data to the
processing unit (112, 122, 182, 201) and the other of the first and second biometric sensor (119, 129, 131 - 134, 411, 421) is controlled to abstain from providing the sensor data (211, 212) to the
processing unit (112, 122, 182, 201).
