Method for operation of a hearing device system and hearing device system

1. A method for operating a hearing device system, comprising:

providing at least two microphones arranged spatially separated from one another;

providing sound-generating output units assigned to these microphones, in which, by comparing the microphone signals or signals derived therefrom, feedback can be detected and on detection of the feedback measures can be initiated for reducing the feedback; and

conducting a frequency-selective power comparison for the comparison of the microphone signals or the signals derived therefrom,

wherein at least one quantitative signal indicating feedback and its frequency is generated by the frequency-selective power comparison, and

wherein the frequency-selective power comparison is executed by the difference is formed between the spectrums of the two microphone signals, wherein this difference is subjected to an offset correction and evaluated in relation to a threshold value.
