Abstract (en)
A hearing instrument (2) is disclosed. The hearing instrument (2) comprised: transmitting means (2, 36) for transmitting an audio signal into at least one of the ears (6) of a user (4); output means (2, 50) for providing an audible signal to the user (4) and means (44) for detecting sound signals (20) from the surroundings of the user (4). The hearing instrument (2) comprises analysing means (46) for analysing the detected sound signals (20) and comparing the detected sound signals (20) with a number of predefined environmental sound detection constraints (54). The hearing instrument (2) provides the detected sound signals (20) processed or directly (unprocessed) to the user (4) by means of the transmitting means (2, 36), if the detected sound signals (20) comply with the predefined environmental sound detection constraints (54). The detected sound signals (20) are not transmitted to the user (4) if the detected sound signals (20) do not comply with the predefined environmental sound detection constraints (54). The hearing instrument (2) supports means of triggering a more permanent change of general operational state following detection of sound signals (20) that comply with the predefined environmental sound detection constraints (54).
