Abstract

Die Verstärkung einer Hörvorrichtung, insbesondere eines Hörgeräts, soll für verschiedene Nutzsignalpegelbereiche verbessert werden. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass die Hörvorrichtung zunächst den Nutzsignalpegelbereich (EB) ermittelt und dann einen Kniepunkt (K1') der Verstärkungskennlinie in Abhängigkeit des Nutzsignalpegelbereichs verschiebt. Günstigerweise wird der Kniepunkt (K1') unterhalb des Nutzsignalpegelbereichs (EB) geschoben. Damit wird der Nutzsignalpegelbereich linear verstärkt und es kommt nicht zu hörbaren Verzerrungen.
