Abstract:
A method performs frequency distortion of an audio signal. The audio signal is divided at at least one division frequency into a low-frequency band and a high-frequency band. A frequency-distorted signal is generated through respectively different distortions of frequencies for the high-frequency band and for the low-frequency band. The division frequency is selected such that it is located between two neighboring tones of a given tonal system.

Claim (Index 10):
A hearing aid, comprising:\n an input transducer for generating an input signal from a sound signal of an environment; a signal processing unit for generating an audio signal on a basis of the input signal; and a frequency distorter programmed to perform a method for frequency distortion of the audio signal, said frequency distorter programmed to:\n divide the audio signal at at least one division frequency into a low-frequency band and a high-frequency band; \n generate a frequency-distorted signal through respectively different distortions of frequencies for the high-frequency band and for the low-frequency band; and \n select the division frequency such that the division frequency is located between two neighboring tones of a given tonal system.
