Abstract
The understanding of speech is to be improved in cases of hearing loss in which certain frequency ranges can no longer be perceived. A hearing aid has an input transducer for receiving an input signal and converting it into an electrical input signal, a signal processing unit for processing the electrical input signal and effecting frequency-dependent amplification of it, and generates an electrical output signal, and an output transducer for converting the electrical output signal into an acoustic output signal. The hearing aid further has a sound detector device for recognizing sounds in a voice signal coming into the hearing aid, a lookup table, in which a specific output code is assigned in each instance to certain sounds, and a coding device, by which the sounds contained in the electrical input signal are replaced by associated output code in the electrical output signal.
