Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for operating a hearing device by applying a frequency transposition scheme to an input signal of the hearing device comprising an input transducer, a signal processing unit and an output transducer, the method comprising the steps of transforming the input signal from time domain into frequency domain by applying a transformation function in order to obtain an input spectrum having a frequency range comprising a source region ( 20 ) and a destination region ( 30 ), adaptively selecting signal components of the source region ( 20 ) taking into account momentary characteristics of the input signal, transposing the selected signal components to the destination region ( 30 ), and supplying the output spectrum or a transformation thereof to the output transducer, the output spectrum comprising signal components of the destination region ( 30 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for operating a hearing device by applying a frequency transposition scheme to an input signal (i) of the hearing device comprising an input transducer ( 1 ), a signal processing unit ( 3 ) and an output transducer ( 5 ), the method comprising the steps of: transforming the input signal (i) from time domain into frequency domain by applying a transformation function in order to obtain an input spectrum having a frequency range comprising a source re…
