Hearing device arrangements and method for audio signal processing are disclosed. A hearing device arrangement (1) comprises two hearing devices (L, R) which are connected to each other in a data transmitting manner. Each hearing device (L, R) comprises an audio input unit (3L, 3R) for obtaining an input audio signal (IL, IR), a processing unit (4L, 4R) for audio signal processing of the input audio signal (IL, IR) to obtain an output audio signal (OL, OR), a neural network (5L, 5R) which, when executed by the processing unit (4L, 4R) performs a processing step of the audio signal processing, and an audio output unit (7L, 7R) for outputting the output audio signal (OL, OR). The hearing device arrangement (1) is configured to transmit neural network data of the neural network (5L, 5R) of at least one of the hearing devices (L, R) to the respective other hearing device (L, R) to be used in the audio signal processing by the processing unit (4L, 4R) of the respective other hearing device (L, R).
