Abstract:
An adaptive level estimator for providing a level estimate of an electric input signal representing sound is provided. The adaptive level estimator comprises a first level estimator configured to provide a first level estimate of the electric input signal in a first number K1 of frequency bands; a second level estimator configured to provide a second level estimate of the electric input signal and/or associated attack/release time constants in a second number K2 of frequency bands, wherein K2 is smaller than K1; and a level control unit receiving said first and second level estimates and configured to provide said resulting level estimate based on said first and said second level estimates and/or said associated attack/release time constants.   The invention may e.g. be used in devices or applications that benefit from a dynamic adaptation of an input signal level to a listener's (possibly limited) dynamic range of sound level perception, or to any other specific dynamic range deviating from that of the environment sound.

Claim (Index 15):
A binaural hearing system according to  claim 14  comprising an auxiliary device, the hearing system being adapted to provide that information can be exchanged between at least one of the first and second hearing devices and the auxiliary device or forwarded from at least one of the first and second hearing devices to the auxiliary device.
