A wearable sound amplification apparatus for the hearing impaired comprising a first ear piece, a second ear piece, a first sound collector connected to the first ear piece via a flexible signal cord portion, a second sound collector connected to the second ear piece via a second flexible signal cord portion, and a sound processing apparatus adapted for diversity signal processing. Each one of the first and second sound collectors is adapted for collecting sound ambient to a user and for outputting the collected ambient sound for diversity processing by the sound processing apparatus. The sound collectors are adapted to follow head movements of the user when the head of the user turns with respect to the body of the user. By providing substantial synchronization between the facing direction and sound collection orientation, problems of conventional hearing aid devices using diversity processing due to non-alignment between the facing direction and sound collection orientation are substantially mitigated. |
