Abstract (en)

The device has an amplifier device (3) provided for amplification of an input signal from a microphone (1) corresponding to a compression algorithm. A classifier (2) is provided for classification of the input signal with respect to a hearing situation. Another amplifier device (4) amplifies the input signal corresponding to another compression algorithm. The classifier supplies the input signal to the amplifier devices based on the classification, where the algorithms are implemented on a chip. An independent claim is also included for a method for signal processing in a hearing device.
