Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0005923A1] The invention relates to a hearing aid comprising a microphone (1), a signal processing unit (2) and a listening device (3), whereby the signal processing unit (2) has a filter element (6) for splitting the signal into a number of partial signals (12). In addition, the hearing aid comprises an analyzing element (7) for detecting speech information found in the partial signals (12), and has a conditioning element (8) for boosting the partial signals (12) during the availability of speech. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a hearing aid.
