1. A hearing system, comprising:
a first sub-system configured to evoke a hearing percept based on a first principle of operation; and
a second sub-system configured to evoke a hearing percept based on at least one of the first principle of operation or a second principle of operation different from the first principle of operation, wherein
at least one of the first or second sub-systems are configured to process input indicative of an ambient sound while taking into account the operation of the other of the first and second sub-systems to automatically harmonize recipient perception of loudness balancing between the respective evoked hearing percepts.
