Abstract

Es wird ein Verfahren zur Geräuschreduktion in einem Hörhilfsgerät (1) beschrieben,
wobei ein Signal, das einen Nutz- und einen Störsignalanteil aufweist, im Hörhilfsgerät (1) verarbeitet wird, und
wobei der Störsignalanteil zugunsten des Nutzsignalanteils reduziert wird, und
wobei die Reduktion des Störsignalanteils abhängig vom Eingangspegel des Signals erfolgt, wobei der Störsignalanteil bei einem hohen Eingangspegel stärker gedämpft wird, als bei einem niedrigen Eingangspegel.

Figure imgaf001
A method for noise reduction in a hearing aid (1) is described,
wherein a signal having a useful and a Störsignalanteil, in the hearing aid (1) is processed, and
wherein the Störsignalanteil is reduced in favor of Nutzsignalanteils, and
wherein the reduction of the noise component is dependent on the input level of the signal, the noise component being attenuated more at a high input level than at a low input level.
