Abstract
A binaural configuration and an associated method have/utilize first and second hearing devices for the voice control of the hearing devices by voice commands. The configuration contains a first voice recognition module in the first hearing device and a second voice recognition module in the second hearing device. The second voice recognition module uses information data from the first voice recognition module for recognition of the voice commands. It is here advantageous that the rate of erroneously recognized voice commands (“false alarms”) is reduced.

- transferring information data from a second voice recognition method of the second hearing device method to a first voice recognition method of a first hearing device;
- and
- using, in a first voice recognition method of the first hearing device, the information data from the second voice recognition method of the second hearing device for recognition of the voice commands.
A binaural configuration for performing voice control of hearing devices by means of voice commands, the binaural configuration comprising:
- a first hearing device having a first voice recognition module;
- and
- a second hearing device having a second voice recognition module, said second voice recognition module using information data from said first voice recognition module for recognition of the voice commands.
