Abstract

A hearing assistive device having an input transducer (18) for picking up sound from the environment, a digital signal processor (27) for alleviating a hearing loss of a specific user by compensating an audio signal according to the users hearing deficit, and an output transducer (29) for reproducing the compensated audio signal. The hearing assistive device further includes an integrated circuit component (40) having at least one analog-to-digital converter adapted for receiving an audio input signal from a microphone and providing a data output for signal processing. The at least one analog-to-digital converter includes an AC filter (50) preventing audible signal losses towards the microphone, and the AC filter (50) is provided with all components integrated in the integrated circuit component (40).
