Abstract

See full text

The hearing comfort when wearing hearing apparatuses is to be improved. To this end, a hearing apparatus and in particular a hearing device is proposed, which has a directional microphone with a preferred direction of recording sound. Furthermore, the hearing apparatus has an inclination determination facility, for determining an inclination of the preferred direction of recording sound in respect of the absolute horizontal for instance. An alignment unit then provides for the directional microphone to be aligned as a function of the determined inclination. The directional microphone of a hearing device can thus always be aligned horizontally independently of the movement of the head of a hearing device wearer.
