There is provided a hearing assistance system, comprising a first hearing assistance device (10, 101) to be worn at a first one of a user's ears for hearing stimulation of the first ear, and a second hearing assistance device (10, 102) to be worn at a second one of the user's ears for hearing stimulation of the second ear, each hearing assistance device comprising a first interface (18) for wireless data exchange between the first hearing assistance device and the second hearing assistance device and a second interface (20) for wireless reception of an external data stream (32) from an external data stream source (34), wherein each hearing assistance device is adapted to repeatedly exchange information concerning the charging status of the battery (42) of the respective hearing assistance device with the other hearing assistance device in order to monitor the remaining battery lifetimes, wherein each hearing assistance device is adapted to deactivate, when acting as the slave of a master-slave configuration, its second interface and to receive, when acting as the master of a master-slave configuration, the external data stream via its second interface and to forward the received external data stream via its first interface to the other hearing assistance device acting as the slave, and wherein the hearing assistance devices are adapted to switch the role of the master and the slave in case that the asymmetry in the battery charge exceeds a given threshold, with the hearing assistance device having the higher battery charge forming the new master after the role switching. |
