Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 18:
19. A method of operating a hearing device adapted for being worn by a user, the method comprising
providing at least one time-variant electric input signal representing sound, the at least one electric input signal comprising target signal components, and optionally noise signal components, the target signal components originating from a target sound source;
processing the at least one electric input signal and providing a processed signal;
creating output stimuli configured to be perceivable by the user as sound based on the processed signal;
repeatedly providing a measure of a predicted speech presence probability of the at least one electric input signal, or of a signal originating therefrom;
repeatedly providing a measure of a predicted speech intelligibility of the at least one electric input signal, or of a signal originating therefrom, and
determining said current measure of the predicted speech intelligibility in dependence of said measure of the predicted speech presence probability.
