Abstract
A method of suppressing an acoustic reverberation in an audio signal includes providing an audio signal, carrying out a first level measurement of the audio signal and carrying out a second level measurement of the audio signal at least temporarily during the first level measurement. The first level measurement is carried out with a decay time and/or adjustment time that differs from a decay time or adjustment time of the second level measurement. An acoustic reverberation of the sound event in the audio signal is suppressed by attenuating the audio signal in response to a sound event in the audio signal. The attenuation is controlled as a function of a difference between the first level measurement and the second level measurement. A hearing device is also provided.
