A listening device for a hearing impaired person being subjected to a tinnitus at a tinnitus frequency range comprising a tinnitus frequency, the listening device comprising an input transducer configured to provide an electric input signal ; characterised that it further comprises a detector coupled to the input transducer and comprises a classifier for determining whether the electrical input signal is a broadband signal or not and to provide a detection signal in response, wherein the classifier is configured to classify the electric input signal in one of a plurality of classes comprising at least: broadband music, broadband noise, such as car noise or other environmental noise, non-broadband own voice and non-broadband speech; and a controllable filter for filtering the electric input signal that is coupled to the detector and to the input transducer , the controllable filter being configured to perform filtering in the tinnitus frequency range and output a filtered electric input signal such that a component of the electric input signal in the tinnitus frequency range is dampened, if the detection signal indicates that the electrical input signal is a broadband signal, where the broadband signal is a signal having a bandwidth larger than the bandwidth of the component of the electric input signal that is dampened, and to output an unfiltered electric input signal such that a component of the electrical input signal in the tinnitus frequency range is not dampened, if the detection signal indicates that the electrical input signal is a non-broadband signal. an input transducer configured to provide an electric input signal ; characterised that it further comprises a detector coupled to the input transducer and comprises a classifier for determining whether the electrical input signal is a broadband signal or not and to provide a detection signal in response, wherein the classifier is configured to classify the electric input signal in one of a plurality of classes comprising at least: broadband music, broadband noise, such as car noise or other environmental noise, non-broadband own voice and non-broadband speech; and a controllable filter for filtering the electric input signal that is coupled to the detector and to the input transducer , the controllable filter being configured to perform filtering in the tinnitus frequency range and output a filtered electric input signal such that a component of the electric input signal in the tinnitus frequency range is dampened, if the detection signal indicates that the electrical input signal is a broadband signal, where the broadband signal is a signal having a bandwidth larger than the bandwidth of the component of the electric input signal that is dampened, and to output an unfiltered electric input signal such that a component of the electrical input signal in the tinnitus frequency range is not dampened, if the detection signal indicates that the electrical input signal is a non-broadband signal. to perform filtering in the tinnitus frequency range and output a filtered electric input signal such that a component of the electric input signal in the tinnitus frequency range is dampened, if the detection signal indicates that the electrical input signal is a broadband signal, where the broadband signal is a signal having a bandwidth larger than the bandwidth of the component of the electric input signal that is dampened, and to output an unfiltered electric input signal such that a component of the electrical input signal in the tinnitus frequency range is not dampened, if the detection signal indicates that the electrical input signal is a non-broadband signal. <EOS>
