1. A bilateral hearing device system comprising:
a first hearing device; and
a second hearing device;
wherein the first hearing device comprises:
a first input transducer configured to provide a first electric input signal;
a second input transducer configured to provide a second electric input signal;
a voice detector module configured to detect own voice of a user of the first hearing device based on one or more detection criteria, the voice detector comprising a first band-pass filter configured for band-pass filtering the first electric input signal, and a second band-pass filter configured for band-pass filtering the second electric input signal;
a processing unit configured to provide a first electric output signal based on the first electric input signal and the second electric input signal; and
an output transducer configured to provide an acoustic output signal based on the first electric output signal;
wherein the voice detector module is further configured to notify a detection of the own voice to the processing unit if one or more of the detection criteria are satisfied; and
wherein the first hearing device further comprises a first wireless communication interface and a third input transducer configured to provide a third electric input signal, the second hearing device comprising a second wireless communication interface and a fourth input transducer configured to provide a fourth electric input signal;
wherein the first hearing device further comprises a third band-pass filter configured for band-pass filtering the third electric input signal; and
wherein the bilateral hearing device system further comprises a fourth band-pass filter configured for band-pass filtering the fourth electric input signal received from the second hearing device.
