Abstract:
A hearing protection device includes: a sub-band splitting module configured to divide a first microphone input signal into sub-band signals having a first sub-band signal and a second sub-band signal; an estimator module configured to estimate signal strength parameters of respective sub-band signals, the signal strength parameters having a first signal strength parameter of the first sub-band signal, and a second signal strength parameter of the second sub-band signal; a multiband limiter; and a limiter controller; wherein the limiter controller is configured to determine gain reductions for the sub-band signals of the first microphone input signal, the gain reductions having a first gain reduction and a second gain reduction, and wherein the limiter controller is configured to control the multiband limiter to apply the second gain reduction to the second sub-band signal, wherein the second gain reduction for the second sub-band signal is based on the first signal strength parameter.

Claim (Index 8):
The hearing protection device according to  claim 1 , wherein the limiter controller is configured to determine a third gain reduction for a third sub-band signal of the first microphone input signal, the third sub-band signal having a third signal strength parameter larger than the first signal strength parameter and the second signal strength parameter, and wherein the limiter controller is configured to control the multiband limiter to apply the third gain reduction to the third sub-band signal.
