A method () of fitting a hearing aid system comprising identification of an auditory neuro-synaptopathy of a person based on the sensitivity of the person to temporal masking, a hearing aid fitting system, a computerized device (), a server () hosting a web service and a computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions, which when executed carry out said method.

Method of fitting a hearing aid system, a hearing aid fitting system and a computerized device

A method () of operating a hearing aid system based on an enhancement of frequency contrast by increasing the gain applied to a frequency band if a measure of the signal variability is above a threshold that depends on the signal variability in other frequency bands and a hearing aid system () for carrying out the method.

Hearing aid system and a method of operating a hearing aid system

A method () of fitting a hearing aid system comprising identification of an auditory neurodegeneration of a person based on the ability of the person to perceive small differences in intensity level, a computerized device () and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon, which when executed by a computer perform said method.

A method of operating a hearing aid system () based on a classification of the current sound environment, which includes a measure of a beat probability and a hearing aid system for carrying out such a method.

A method of noise reduction of low-level input signals in a hearing aid involves applying compression to the input signal using a first compression ratio if a detected measure of amplitude modulation in the input signal is below a selected modulation level, and using a second compression ratio if the measure of amplitude modulation is above the selected modulation level. This reduces the volume of low-level steady-state noise while increasing the volume of modulated signals, e.g. speech. A hearing aid having a noise reduction system () has means for determining a level of amplitude modulation from a noise level and an absolute average level of an input signal, and comprises a dynamic compressor having a first compression ratio and a second compression ratio. The means for determining the level of amplitude modulation is configured to control the dynamic compressor in such a way that, below a predetermined input level, unmodulated sounds are amplified less than unmodulated sounds. In this way, low-level, unmodulated sounds are dampened by the hearing aid.
