Abstract

In an aspect of the present disclosure, a hearing aid system comprises a first hearing aid and a second hearing aid, both configured for wireless communication. The first hearing aid comprises a first input unit providing a first electrical audio input signal, and a first noise reduction system comprising a first noise reduction parameter to attenuate noise and providing a first processed signal, and a first motion sensor for providing a first motion bias, and a first conversation detector for providing a first conversation parameter indicative of conversation likelihood, and a first output unit for providing a first audible output signal based on the first processed signal. The second hearing aid comprises a second input unit providing a second electrical audio input signal, and a second noise reduction system with a second noise reduction parameter to attenuate noise and providing a second processed signal, and a second conversation detector for providing a second conversation parameter indicative of conversation likelihood, and a second output unit for providing a second audible output signal based on the second processed signal. The first noise reduction parameter is determined based on the first motion bias and the first and / or second conversation parameters. The second noise reduction parameter is determined based on the first motion bias and / or the second conversation parameter.
