ABSTRACT:
This hearing aid system comprises a first hearing aid (1) and the second hearing aid (2) mounted on the right ear. These each have a microphone (101) for inputting ambient sound, a hearing aid processor (102) for subjecting sound inputted from the microphone (101) to hearing aid processing, a speaker (103) for outputting sound that has undergone the hearing aid processing, a communication component (107) for performing wireless communication, and a battery (104) for supplying electrical power to the microphone (101), the hearing aid processor (102), the communication component (107), and the speaker (103). The first hearing aid (1) and the second hearing aid (2) have a battery charge detector (105) for detecting the remaining charge of the battery. A power consumption controller (106) is provided for reducing the power consumption for whichever of the first hearing aid (1) and the second hearing aid (2) that has the lowest remaining battery charge when it has been detected that the difference in the remaining battery charges of the first hearing aid (1) and the second hearing aid (2) detected by the battery charge detector (105) is greater than a specific value.
