Abstract:
1. A listening device for processing an input sound to an output sound, the listening device, comprising: an input transducer for converting an input sound to an electric input signal; an output transducer for converting a processed electric output signal to an output sound; and a forward path defined between the input transducer and the output transducer and comprising wherein based on an input from the LG-estimator unit, the SBS unit is adapted for substituting spectral content in a receiver band of the input signal with spectral content from a donor band in such a way that spectral content of the donor band is copied and inserted in the receiver band instead of its original spectral content, wherein the receiver band is a plus-band and the donor band is a minus-band, and the SBS unit is further configured to select the donor band based on a model of the human auditory system to provide minimum distortion, and a condition for selecting a frequency band FB
