Abstract
A method operates a hearing instrument having an acousto-electric first input transducer and an electro-acoustic output transducer. A first input signal is generated by the first input transducer from an ambient sound. The first input signal and/or a first intermediate signal derived from the first input signal is resolved into a multiplicity of frequency bands. An output signal is generated from the first input signal, or from the first intermediate signal, by frequency-selective signal processing. A relevant subset of frequency bands is determined from the aforementioned multiplicity such that, in each frequency band of the relevant subset, an output sound generated from the output signal by the output transducer makes a contribution that lies above a predefined or desired threshold, further, with the aid of signal components of the first input signal, or of the first intermediate signal.
